ABOUT ME
Kasie lung
Kasie Lung (she/her) is a Chinese Canadian multidisciplinary creative that is currently enrolled as a fourth year Fashion Design student at Ryerson University. Her work as a fashion designer and researcher mainly revolves around wearable technology, human-centered design, and inclusive fashion.
Recently, her human-centred design work has been recognized by Logistik Unicorp, winning her the first place prize in the Logistik Design Contest 2021. In addition, Kasie has been involved in an award-winning design project called ADAwear that has received accolades from the Kent State University Fashion X Tech Hackathon 2020 and has been included as one of the top pitches during the Ryerson Student Innovation Experience (RISE) Summer 2020 virtual incubation program presented by the Fashion Zone. Her womenswear designs have also been showcased at the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA) Conference 2019 in the juried undergraduate student exhibition.
As a new graduate entering into the creative industries, Kasie is interested in furthering her knowledge and gaining more experience in the fields of wearable technology, inclusive fashion, human-centered design, design research, digital design, fashion entrepreneurship, event planning, and project management.
This thesis project is an amalgamation of the knowledge and experience that I have acquired throughout my studies at Ryerson University. This journey began two years ago when I enrolled in a wearable technology course and began experimenting with smart materials and technology. Subsequently, I had the opportunity to intern for a wearable technology startup and had the opportunity to learn about 3D printing and laser cutting through various courses and jobs. This exposure to fashion and technology, combined with my love for origami and pleats, has been the source of inspiration for Folded Technologies.
