ZUA's Professional History
Past Positions
Nov. 2020 - March 2021
Intern - Work.Shop Omaha
Work.Shop Omaha, now a big local business, was once a mere idea. That idea turned into pop-up shops and that is where I met Trey and Stefan. Trey Mathews and Stefan Drincic started selling street wear and vintage clothing in their first store on Jackson street in Downtown Omaha. I wanted to be part of the fashion and pop culture scene of Omaha and I became an intern for Work.Shop when they first opened. I did services ranging from restoring shoes to posting vintage items on their Depop.

Project Funway
First fashion show I entered with my "Mummified" upcycled ensemble. First time presenting my own style in a public setting and even though I did not win any awards, I won the head turns and compliments of the streets, as well as created an apparently polarizing TikTok post.

Omaha Fashion Week
My first time being at Omaha Fashion Week for my own creation. I made an entire ensemble based off of the Kura Kura Badminton Court in Bali, Indonesia. Getting inspiration from a sustainably made Badminton court and all its shapes, textures, and colors, I decided to make evening wear that had similar components within the ensemble.
