Her Senior Thesis, titled The Blue Mentality is an aspirational apparel collection exploring the transformation of traditional woven Ikat to contemporary ready-to-wear designs. While rooted in textile techniques such as dyeing, weaving, and embellishment, the conceptual meaning behind the collection communicates and questions the mind, anxiety, and the color blue.
