CV
Although Lingerie is often thought as a functional garment that is covered under clothes, I believe that it has an enormous power in expressing our personalities and boosting one’s confidence. Projects can tell anything that you want to talk about and there is no restriction.
Now I think it is time for me to gain professionalism with a greater guidance as I will be able to reach my goal which is to be a designer who can read the industry's insight and global issues to further apply on aesthetically pleasing way.
I could contribute to the team with a highly positive mind and as a versatile person ready to take on any tasks. I am able to widen my perspective and work in much more diverse way in the future.
