About Amelia Pantazon
I’m Amelia Pantazon, a fashion designer with a Bachelor’s in Textiles and Fashion Design from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I love helping people express themselves through clothing, whether it’s giving styling advice or creating pieces that feel truly personal. My passion lies in bridal redesign, especially working with heirloom dresses. I love the idea of honoring the legacy of a garment while transforming it into something new and uniquely yours. I’m also fascinated by upcycled fashion and secondhand textiles, finding creative ways to problem-solve through design while making the most of existing materials.

Ruth Davis Design Gallery Exhibition
As a member of the student team curating an exhibition of student work in textiles and fashion design, I was responsible for designing the floor layout of the gallery. My role was crucial in ensuring that each designer's work received optimal placement for their installation. In addition to my curation duties, I also contributed to the exhibition by showcasing my own installation. This project provided an opportunity to collaborate with peers and showcase our collective talent and creativity to a wider audience.
