An aspiring young designer, Ella De Santo is currently in her second year of tertiary education at RMIT. She is majoring in a Bachelor of Fashion Design Honors and minoring in Fashion Enterprise. De Santo's interest in design emerged at a young age, as she became fixated on the technicality of garment construction.  In her VCE studies she completed both mathematical methods and specialist mathematics, transposing these problem solving skills into her design work. As De Santo develops into a young designer, she wishes to push the boundaries of traditional pattern making, curating a harmonious combination between fashion design and cunning mathematics.
