My name is Amanda Knisely-Medina. I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Fashion Design and Development at the University of Georgia. My research focus is evaluating the use of artificial intelligence in fashion teaching and pedagogy. I’ve spent years both making and selling costumes. My skills include garment design and production, 2D and 3D CAD, illustration and virtual modeling, pattern drafting, sewing, weaving, embroidery, stage and effects makeup, and wig styling.
