My name is Ava Bibbs, and I am a student at Iowa State University majoring in Fashion Design and Merchandising with an emphasis in Creative and Technical Design. I am a hardworking, efficient, and driven student who thrives on setting and achieving goals. Fashion has always been my passion, as I am captivated by its creative nature and how it is a universal language that allows people to express themselves. Over the years, I’ve realized just how important fashion truly is. One thing you are guaranteed to do every day of your life is dress yourself, and what you wear can influence how you feel and how others perceive you. That every day significance is why I love studying fashion and view it as such a meaningful and creative profession.​​​​
