Hi, I’m Kylie Redden. I grew up just outside of Richmond, Virginia, and recently graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Fashion Design and a minor in Fashion Merchandising. I’ve always been drawn to art and storytelling, and fashion became the space where those interests naturally met. My work is shaped by personal experiences and an ongoing curiosity about how clothing can hold meaning, memory, and emotion.

My design philosophy is shaped by the women in my life, inspiring me to create designs that are distinctly feminine, handcrafted, and purposeful. I have experience with womens and childrens apparel design as well as surface design and accessory design. I have a strong technical background in garment construction, draping, patternmaking, and technical illustration. I'm also skilled in digital tools like Illustrator, Photoshop, Excel, and CLO3D.

I am currently seeking a full-time job where I will be able to continue learning and expanding my design knowledge. I am open to relocation on the east coast and am excited to join a likeminded team!
