FIT Fashion Design Graduate | Tutor & Creative Guide

Nicole W.

As a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, I’ve been trained in every stage of the design process—from initial concept to final garment construction. My experience includes sewing, draping, flat sketching, and portfolio development, as well as skills that extend beyond traditional fashion design, including graphic design and photography. These additional creative tools allow me to help students develop strong visual presentations, mood boards, and digital portfolios that reflect their unique style and voice.

While at FIT, I often supported my classmates by explaining techniques, offering project feedback, and helping them stay organized and inspired. Those informal teaching experiences helped me discover how much I enjoy working one-on-one with other creatives. I bring patience, encouragement, and structure to every session. Whether you're a beginner learning fashion fundamentals, a student preparing for a design school application, or someone looking to explore their creativity through design, I tailor my lessons to your goals and pace.

My tutoring approach is hands-on and supportive. I combine my fashion background with graphic design and photography to give students a more complete creative foundation. Whether we’re working on garment construction, developing a brand identity, or capturing a collection visually, I aim to build your confidence while helping you grow technically and creatively. I’m here to guide and motivate you as you explore what’s possible in fashion and beyond.
