In a Professional Portfolio course, we were asked to create a product development and marketing plan, from research to execution, based on current events for a particular brand. I created a body care and wellness product line extension for ZARA that offers a body lotion, body scrub and candles. GenZ, the target consumer, buying behavior has drastically shifted, particularly given the current global condition. Consumers now want to invest in quality over quantity when it comes to their personal, self-care. This makes the need for wellness products important.
Hence, I proposed the Zelf-Care Revolution.
With the demand for wellness and lifestyle escalating, I aimed to combine ZARA's signature minimalist aesthetic with high quality ingredients to develop a luxurious product line for consumers - zwellness.
As part of a Contemporary Issues in Fashion Merchandising course, we were first asked to research and analyze how current issues in the industry are presented in a brand’s advertising. Then, we were to develop a critical point of view regarding issues within fashion industry and apply it to a brand's current advertisements.
I selected the retailer Diesel because though their advertising pertains to their current target market, it prevents them from gaining new brand loyal consumers and may even ruin their image towards current consumers. I found that that their marketing was overly sexual, inappropriate and there was a lack of body inclusivity. I created three advertisement mock-ups that presented a more ethical point of Diesel's view.

In a Textiles Foundation course, we were asked to research and study both natural and synthetic fibers. I delved into each fiber's history, technical properties and environmental effects along with their various types. I found it interesting how each type of fiber is created in it's own unique fashion and has it's own qualities that separate it from others.
