About me
My name is Ava Weissgarber, and I am an Assistant Designer at Ciano Farmer Denim Co. I specialize in pattern-making, sewing, and fittings. I enjoy using these skills to create great pieces for Denimheads. Although my job is very hands-on, I love the technical side of fashion and creating flats in Adobe illustrator. I am graduating from The University of North Texas with a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design this upcoming May. Through my years at the University I have designed and created many garments that have led me to exploring my passions of upcycling, surface design, and sustainability. In 2022, I entered the FGI (Fashion Group International) competition in Dallas and won the Internship Award that led to interning at Finley Shirts. Here I found my love for weekly fittings and designing for their next spring collection. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, trying new recipes to cook, going to concerts, and watching drama-filled reality TV shows.
