Emma R.
Fashion & Textile Design
New York City
- I presented at NYFW in 2023
- I spent about 80 hours completely covering a pair of boots in indivudually placed rhinestones!
- I have spent a lot of time in the backcountry and outdoors, and draw a lot of inspiration from those experiences as well as my connections with the people closest to me.
I am an experienced fashion designer with a passion for mentoring students through every step of the collection design process. Having started at a young age myself, I know how hard it can be to find education, support, and resources when you're first getting started. I was very fortunate to find some amazing mentors when I was first learning, and I feel it's my purpose to be that resource for aspiring designers. I specialize in textiles, dyeing, color, patternmaking, and helping students find their voice as a designer - guiding them through the process from both a creative and a technical lens and helping them design standout collections for their portfolios. I am an avid creative and I am always experimenting and adding new techniques to my toolkit. Since 2020 I have been sharing my work as well as educational videos on Instagram and TikTok, ammassing an audience of almost 400,000 across all platforms.
