Emma Brown

Warehouse Administrator and co-ordinator for Wayne Cooper
Bachelor of Arts (Fashion and Textile design)

I chose Curtin because I wanted a fashion degree with an emphasis on design.

I had a lot of fun within the university. Curtin allowed me to be flexible with my degree and focus on all aspects of fashion. My highlights included working with the best lecturers and tutors and producing work for a fashion show. After 3 years of hard work knowing that your work is on the end of a runway is the most rewarding feeling.

The staff in my degree were amazing. Anne Farren was like a mentor. Emily Wills, Jessica Judd, Kristy Correy - without them, I wouldn’t have finished.

Since graduating, I have moved to Sydney and am currently working with Wayne Cooper as their Warehouse Administrator and co-ordinator. I am also still expanding my knowledge with work experience in September with Karolina York.

My degree has most definitely helped my career path. Without the knowledge and skills I have attained, I would be useless in the industry. I would recommend the degree, however I would advise the students it’s not an easy course, it is a lot of hard work and don’t start the course unless you have sewing experience.
