who is emma?

I began my fashion design education in August of 2022 at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. Ever since I was a little girl, I had dreamt of being an artist, so when it came to college, I knew I had to pursue the arts. After my initial year of art foundation classes, I entered into the fashion program, and I have never looked back.

My main focus will always be sustainability and ethical practices. In high school, I begun to research and learn more about the wrong doings in the fashion world. I was, and still am, so passionate about the environment, that this only fueled me to want to change the fashion industry. Although this is a large task to put upon myself, I believe I can make a difference through showing others the changes that can be made to the fashion world.

Outside of fashion, I have many different passions. I have a strong passion for photography and art history, which tend to inform my design process a lot. I enjoy music and attending concerts, hiking and walks, collaging and painting, interior decorating, styling outfits, and most importantly, traveling the world.
