Hi, my name is Sara, and I would like to welcome you to my online portfolio. I am 23 years old and I am in my fourth year of studying at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) in the direction of Fashion Business & Development. For the past four years, I have also worked in the women designer department at Bijenkorf in Amsterdam, where I provided premium service to guests as well as personal shopping sessions. My environment will define me as creative, flexible, ambitious, creative, solution-oriented, and detail oriented.

This past three years I have worked on improving my expertise in design, supply chain management, fabric knowledge, product development, and strategic planning. As a result, I am familiar with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, BrowZWear, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator. My English is well, both in word and writing. My interests in fashion are design, collection/product development, supply chain planning, sourcing materials, quality management and buying.

After the two foundation years, I was allowed to choose my own path for the coming two years. In my third year I followed the specialization Make & Buy. This specialization focuses on the fascinating world of the Fashion Buyer/ Product Manager. I had a great time during this specialization and hope to put the knowledge I gained into practice.

February 2023 I started a new journey, called International Production. For this specialization I traveled to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to gain working experience in international fashion production. The company where I follow this traineeship is called NBC Nhabe Garment Corporation. In the company I fulfill the role as a designer. I worked there on a ready made garment collection from the leftover fabrics. I am grateful for this opportunity and I enjoyed working here every day. 

Currently I am in my fourth and last year of my study. These last 5 months I did my internship at Donsje Amsterdam. During this internship I worked as a designer and I helped to select fabrics and colors for the upcoming season.  

Want to know more about my internship period and my graduation project? Feel welcome to contact me.
