Design Oriented Critical Thinking

Rae Melnik

Fashion is constantly changing around us. It’s not about keeping up, but with understanding the artistry behind each idea. Based in Chicago, Illinois, I am an Artist, Designer and Technician working to create stories about life that surrounds us as well as beyond our own reality. I graduated with a BFA in Costume Design and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been making costumes since 2011, but have been interested in art for far longer.
