Meet Alejandro
A Brief Introduction
My name is Alejandro Martinez and I am a graduate of Colorado State University with a Bachelor's in Apparel and Merchandising. Through my time studying design and production, I have mastered programs like adobe photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, and Microsoft Excel. Likewise, I have earned gold certification on Backbone PLM, and am working at new programs like CLO 3D every day. Moreover, I have grasped a firm understanding of the product development and design process that facilitates my ability to create and design the collections within this website. I have a deep love for the clothing, music, and style of the '80s which is reflected by designs. I have a special interest in streetwear and shoe design where I like to combine modern fashion with elements of the '80s.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy being an active member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and working with Respite Care incorporated, an organization that offers care for those with mental and physical disabilities.
