My Passion Projects
I fell in love with sewing in 2023 after learning from my grandma, who first introduced me to the craft. What started as a personal hobby quickly grew into something more, as I began tailoring clothes for friends and refining my skills. Over time, that passion evolved into designing my own pieces, allowing me to blend creativity with hands-on craftsmanship and develop my own unique style and brand Taytum Nykelle.
Fashion Show
I served as both an assistant producer and designer for the 2026 UCSB Fashion Club runway show, which brought together an audience of over 200 supporters. In addition to helping coordinate the production, I designed and created seven looks for the runway, including one of my own for my brand Taytum Nykelle. This experience allowed me to combine creativity with organization, contributing to both the visual direction and overall execution of the show.
Taytum Nykelle
I founded Taytum Nykelle as a creative extension of my passion for design, bringing my original pieces to life through thoughtful craftsmanship and a distinct aesthetic. The brand reflects my personal style and vision, with designs that first debuted on the runway during the UCSB Fashion Club fashion show.
Each piece highlights my attention to detail and evolving perspective as a designer. To explore the brand further, check out the Instagram, and click to view pieces that were featured in the show.
