Alesha Ahmet
I am a UAL Fashion & Communications student with a passion for womenswear design, trend forecasting and creative concept development. Through industry internships, live projects and independent work, I have gained experience in trend research, CAD development, garment construction, pattern cutting and technical drawing. I enjoy transforming cultural research and emerging trends into commercially relevant design concepts while maintaining a strong attention to detail throughout the development process. My work combines creativity with technical skills, from initial mood boards and colour stories through to finished garments. I am currently looking for opportunities within fashion design, trend, colour, print or product development where I can continue learning, contribute creatively and grow within a collaborative design team.
