Masters in Apparel Designing
NID (National Institute of Design)
Gandhinagar, Gujarat
Masters in Apparel Designing from NID was a life-changing decision. Got to learn to look at things differently. The rich culture of creativity nourished every aspect of my personality and made me what I am today.
I also got a chance to work for 6 months as a research intern at Saxion University of Applied Science, the Netherlands and this internship gave a great boost to my hunger for technology and science behind clothing. I worked on Recycling Textile waste using biopolymer and got to participate in some other projects, like wearable solar cells, conductive thread usage in garments, etc.
The project was worked out from all dimensions ranging from planning to execution to testing and documentation. And the best part, it was evaluated by people from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from fellow students to HOD. The evaluation process was not as intense as it's in NID but taught me a valuable approach to project planning. Working with different peoples from the world, added multiple approaches to the project and it was fun looking at the same thing from so many angles.
#made the work easier as well.

Some of the toughest life lessons and realised the true value of time, money, and good food.
