Industry professional fashion design tutor

Loucka V.

Hi, my name is Loucka V. I recently graduated magna cum laude from Marist University with a BFA in fashion design and minors in fashion merchandising and photography. I’m excited to offer private tutoring in fashion design and portfolio development for aspiring designers. I recently graduated from Marist University with a degree in Fashion Design, and I’m now working as an industry professional at Abercrombie & Fitch, where I continue to refine my skills in design, trend research, and brand development. Through my tutoring, I aim to share both the creative and technical aspects of fashion, helping students strengthen their design process, refine their artistic voice, and build a professional portfolio that stands out in college applications or entry-level opportunities.

My sessions are tailored to each student’s goals, whether that’s learning the fundamentals of sketching and garment construction, exploring digital design tools like Adobe Illustrator, or preparing a cohesive portfolio that reflects their unique vision. Having recently navigated the transition from student to professional, I understand what design programs look for and how to communicate creativity with purpose. I strive to create a supportive, inspiring environment where students can experiment confidently, receive constructive feedback, and develop the presentation skills needed for interviews and critiques.

Whether you’re preparing for fashion school, improving your technical skills, or simply exploring your passion for design, I look forward to helping you grow your creative potential. Together, we’ll turn your ideas into polished, professional work that showcases your talent and individuality.
