April 2024

For my second project in The Textile and Surface course. We had several requirements that our professor wanted us to reach. The product had to have a hard, soft and graphic component. We also had to pick a faux brand that we are designing for.


I chose Arc’teryx because I think the are an exciting brand that is appreciated by designers, outdoor enthusiasts and street-wear connoisseurs. I wanted to create a product that intrigues all these groups.
