Design Courses

The highlight of my experience at Curtin is the industry professionals that I've been able to meet. I've met some amazing designers and creatives, and made great contacts who are already giving me insight into life in fashion outside of university. I've had volunteer involvement at fashion shows since first year, including StyleAid and the Fashion Graduation Show, all of which have been big learning curves for me. There have been opportunities to work with designers and photographers that I've been able to be involved in, including one designer who I am now doing work experience with.
