About

Hi, I'm
Andrea.

I'm a junior studying Fashion Merchandising and Design at Virginia Tech, with a passion for the full creative process — from concept to construction to the final styled image. I'm drawn to work that lives at the intersection of research, design, and storytelling.

Right now I'm developing an independent project: a strawberry miniskirt with pleats that started as a hand sketch, went through a 2D AI rendering on Vizcom, and is currently being sewn by hand — finishing with a full styled photoshoot. It's the kind of end-to-end creative practice I bring to everything I do.

The Maroon & Orange Spring/Summer 2025 Collection

A student-run product line designed for the Virginia Tech bookstore

Given a real budget brief, our team designed a four-piece collection — a crossover denim skirt, Hokie racecar jacket, matching frilly set, and mid-rise denim skirt — targeting VT college women aged 18–23. The project covered full trend analysis (drawing from Gucci, Chanel, Miu Miu Spring 2024), SWOT analysis against competitors like Princess Polly and Free People, a specification sheet with measurements, and a social media marketing strategy built around the Hokie Bird.

Mirror Palais Spring 2026 Collection

Four original designs inspired by Marcelo Gaia's romantic, body-celebrating aesthetic

Designed a four-look collection for Mirror Palais — a pink mini skirt, black maxi skirt, red heart top with chain, and white top with chain — taking each piece from initial watercolor croquis through hand-drawn flat sketches, Adobe Illustrator digital flats, and full POM specification packs with graded measurements. The project was grounded in research into Marcelo Gaia's design philosophy: sustainability through pre-orders, cultural identity, and flattering all body types.

Outcast Aura Spring Collection

An original 7-piece collection inspired by Australian brand Outcast — bold, feminine, fearlessly confident

Inspired by Outcast's celebration of individuality and bold femininity, I designed a seven-piece collection — a light blue cowl neck top with gold chain strap, cropped black corset, white micro shorts, low rise pants, fuchsia scoop neck corset, ruffle mini skirt, and a wrap bodycon dress in a custom dark leopard and star print. The project included a complete line sheet with fabric content and delivery specs, a full color card (12 colors named from Flirtatious Fuchsia to Diamond Dust), a custom print page, a bill of materials, and a detail tech pack with front/back views and construction annotations for the hero piece.
