Key Facilities
As a child, I already enjoyed sewing clothes. I turned my interest into a profession by enrolling at HKDI after my secondary education. This pathway led me to PolyU and aided me in progressively developing my fashion brand and taking it to the global stage!
Starting with a Diploma from IVE, I then pursued a Higher Diploma to learn more design knowledge and skills, followed by a Bachelor's degree from the University of Lincoln in the UK. During my studies, I participated in the World Skills Competition and won a gold medal in the "Visual Merchandising" category, helping me move towards becoming a professional designer.
