"Sustainability is more than recycling. It's about making the least impact to our environment, and that inculdes designing things that outlasts fashion.
I also enjoy showing our students' work to the world. This is where we give excellent support, and our students love it!
I start promoting them at the end of their 1st year, and we don't stop even after they have graduated."
