Bio
Carioca - Milanese
My name is Clarissa Gusmão, a Brazilian 29 year old fashion designer living in Milan.
I came to Milan to expand my knowledge of Fashion, especially to try to understand how brands prepare themselves for the future fashion market, which demands a 'do-over' regarding the production system.
Now, I'm finishing my masters in Fashion and Textiles design at NABA, writing my thesis in this subject, and looking for an internship that could possibly lead me to a job in the future.
I am a self determined and creative person, who knows when to take the initiative, hard worker, and careful to details and quality of the products. I have a strong ability to analyse data and strong feeling for what concerns the detection of trends in fashion and design. Flexible, quick to domain new skills and willing to learn from others. I work both independently and in team. I have a lot of enthusiasm and excellent problem solving skills, thanks to my out of the box approach that allows me always to get involved in any situation.
