A bit about me...

Sea Me Happy 

https://www.seamehappy.be/

At Sea Me Happy, as an assistant design intern I was deeply involved in all aspects of CAD work, from using CLO3D for 3D garment visualisation to Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate for creating digital designs. My role also required extensive use of Excel for developing detailed tech packs, which provided essential technical specifications for production. Additionally, I was hands-on with sample production and sewing, ensuring that the garments met quality and fit standards. This combination of technical and practical tasks allowed me to bridge the gap between digital design and the physical creation of quality garments.

I also contributed creatively by brainstorming design ideas for both the S/S25 and A/W26 collections. This experience sharpened my ability to work on seasonal trends while considering both the brand's identity and current market demands. Being involved in the full design process— from initial concept to final sample— gave me invaluable insight into how to balance creative vision with practical execution in the luxury fashion world.

In January 2025 I will be able to share some of my work for the brand publicly, the rest of my work can be posted in August 2025.
