Apparel and merchandising digital technology was a class coordinating a comprehensive dive into the Adobe Suite and a crash course to get a grip on visual technology in the lens of apparel.
Throughout the semester, we worked to develop a conceptual brand to fit the core learning concepts we tackled in class. I created a brand called Mi-Phii, a gender-neutral streetwear/tailored apparel brand based out of Hawaii and inspired by the roots of South Asian, East Asian, and Polynesian design.

The Fashion Scholarship Fund awards scholarship grants to approximately 130 undergraduate design students each year chosen from 72 colleges and universities in the United States. In addition to scholarship awards, the Fashion Scholarship Fund provides support to students to help achieve their career goals and build their fashion network. The 130 winners of the 2024 Fashion Scholarship Fund award were selected from approximately 1,300 scholarship applicants.
The focus of my winning case study was increasing the longevity of garments while preserving the heritage of Levi's for their avid consumers. I created an apparel line that would survive a "generational wardrobe," resistant to wear and changing trends. This extends the life of clothing for the consumer and protects the planet from wasteful, short-term garments. Through a higher initial purchase price benefiting the company and a cost over time model benefiting the consumer, this would also supply Levi’s with an adequate profit margin.
