Performance of Healing

Lane Bryant Internship '22

As a team of 8 Lane Bryant Interns across interdisciplinary fields (Design, Merchandising, Allocation, Marketing). We conducted intensive research to pin point customer "pain points" throughout the omni-channel shopping experiences. This includes Social Media, App, Website, and In Store experience. Below is a snap shot of our presentation of findings and suggestions, which we pitched to CEO Liz Edmiston, our reporting managers, and top LB executives. Here I have the pieces I worked closest to, the In-Store experience.

The entirety of the presentation can be found here.

Lane Bryant Internship '22: Sketches

Value shifts

Designed with Sunny Ning and Lorena Pipenco, looking at the value changes between generations, cultures, and social positions. We specifically looked at our own families from American, Chinese, and Romanian cultures. My family focus was on my great grandfather's work as a cartoonist and additional American/Swedish folk storytelling. This developed into using different tradtional animation styles: flipbook and Thaumatrope which was then used to create sublimation prints with our own personal motifs.

The Showsuit

The Showsuit is created from 15 t-shirts and sweatshirts, and one scarf that I had collected from different events or groups that I have participated in. Many have a tradition of creating quilts out of sentimental t-shirts, but I wanted to create something that stayed true to my time in Colorguard and performance. Which had to be something outrageous, and perhaps not conventionally beautiful. Additionally, leftover craft supplies, like yarn, were used to “muppet-ify” this garment. Adding the crochet work into this suit was my way to bring in characteristics that I have created into puppets that I have worked on.

Landscaping Project

Tasked with designing a 4-season functional line of work-wear for the OSU Landscaping team. Below are the overalls made by me, as well as prints I designed for our teams submission.

Coveralls & Friends

I created 3 pairs of coveralls for myself and my two friends, Britt and Cat. While designing coveralls I was able to practice designing functional garments.
