CSM MA Fashion Alumni and skilled lecturer with industry experience in creative development, technical construction, and curriculum design

Shakila is so thorough and insightful with her tutorials, they are truly detailed and brought much needed new perspective to my work! She goes through things that other people would usually look over, I loved my sessions with her and definitely would recommend them to everyone!

I discovered her through an Instagram post and saw she was hosting a portfolio workshop. I knew I had to be part of it. Her mentoring was incredibly insightful, offering me new perspectives in fashion. The design activity was also a lot of fun and added a creative, hands-on experience to the session.

I did a fashion design portfolio workshop with her last year in Népal which was very fruitful. I got to learn so many things in such a short period of time. What I learned through her curriculum was in depth and precise, which I am still applying in my fashion course.

Working with such a talented and inspiring fashion designer has been an incredible experience. Her creativity, attention to detail, and passion for the craft is truly remarkable. One thing I love the most about her is the ability to transform fabric into wearable art that tells a story. Her designs not only showcases technical skills but also evokes emotions. She pushed me to embrace new ideas and express myself in ways I hadn’t imagined. It was a transformative experience that helped me feel more confident and inspired.
