0:01\ Movement has always inspired me, I've always been creative and I had a dream to build a career.
\ 0:10\ I'd actually love something that would let me live after pulling that.
\ 0:19\ Before I started my Bachelor of Design in Fashion and Textiles at UTSI.
\ 0:24\ Didn't even know how to sew.
\ 0:26\ The first year was a huge lining curve, but learning those core design foundations was so rewarding and looking back, I can see how those early skills shaped everything I'm doing now.
\ 0:37\ From day one, the lecturers and tutors were like mentors.
\ 0:40\ They didn't just teach us technical skills like pattern making and construction, they taught us how to look at design differently.
\ 0:47\ To reimagine my friends and the people I met here made a huge difference too.
\ 0:55\ We supported each other through late nights in the studio and encouraged each other to keep going.
\ 1:00\ They helped me grow as a designer.
\ 1:03\ UTS really listens.
\ 1:04\ When my class showed a strong interest in knitting, they responded by getting us more knitting machines.
\ 1:10\ We also have access to tools like WGSN and Clothes 3D as a part of our learning industry.
\ 1:16\ Partners came in to show us how they use this technology, and it just clicked.
\ 1:20\ UTS is preparing us for what's next.
\ 1:24\ I've started interning at an Australian fashion label and walking into that studio I felt ready.
\ 1:30\ I'm still figuring out if I want to start my own label or work in house, but whatever I choose I know I can do it.

“UTS encouraged me to expand my ideas and concepts into new places that I could never have imagined at the start.”
Vanessa Emirian
Bachelor of Design in Fashion and Textiles
“I feel that people become caught up in the repetition and monotony of their work, and cannot think innovatively or progress. This is why I love BCII: to be constantly reminded that you must ‘think different’ in order to excel creatively within any field.”
Olivia Kirk
Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation
“The facilities at UTS are so fantastic. You have these dedicated spaces for particular techniques – you’re allowed to do whatever you want, and I think I tried it all.”

“The impact that BCII had on me, it changed completely the way that I see the world. And it made me evolve as a person in a professional and personal sense.”
Chelsea Baker
Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation
“I really found myself creatively, and I still find that I visit a lot of seeds of ideas that were planted back then.”
Alix Higgins
Bachelor of Design in Fashion and Textiles Bachelor of Design (Honours)
“Having the whole textile room, all the knitting machines, being able to do your own natural dyes, I think UTS is pretty much the only uni in Australia to have all those facilities. That was definitely a big selling point for me.”
