Alumni Advice to Future Students:

Laxmi Kiran Komogari“I liked the blend of design, textile sciences and marketing that my program had. It gave me an all-around knowledge of these three vital aspects of the industry, with an emphasis on design. I also liked the amount of computer-aided design training we had —Photoshop and Illustrator, along with hand sketching. This proved helpful at work as computer designing is really common in the industry.” — Laxmi “Kiran” Komogari, ’04 apparel and textiles, assistant designer, Haddad Apparel Group, New York
