Hi, I’m Tierra, an apparel designer and recent graduate from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Growing up in Minnesota, my family always encouraged my creativity. At a young age, I was always taking things apart and making new things. My passion for fashion started in high school when I bought my first sewing machine. I wanted to create clothing that I couldn’t find in stores and upcycle clothing I already owned.

I enjoy the design process, from sketching out ideas to seeing the pieces come to life. I’m eager to keep learning and improving my skills, especially in technical design. Outside of apparel, I enjoy photography and nature, they often inspire my designs. My goal is to use my skills to make a positive difference in the world.
