About Deborah
Dear future designers, I’m Deborah Jacobs, a passionate fashion designer, creative thinker, and—above all—an educator who believes in the power of style to tell stories, challenge norms, and create change. Fashion has been my language for as long as I can remember. It’s how I express who I am, how I see the world, and how I connect with others. Over the years, I’ve worked in the industry, collaborated with inspiring artists, and explored everything from classic tailoring to avant-garde design. But what truly excites me now is sharing that knowledge with you. Why do I want to teach fashion design? Because I believe every student has something powerful and personal to say through fashion—and I want to help you say it with confidence, clarity, and creativity. I’m here to guide you, challenge you, and support you as you grow not just as a designer, but as an innovator and storyteller. Teaching fashion isn’t just about technique (though yes, we’ll get hands-on with everything from sketching to stitching). It’s about mentoring you to find your own design voice. I’m not here to create copies of myself—I’m here to help you become the boldest, truest version of yourself as a designer. So, if you’re curious, passionate, and ready to explore who you are through fashion—let’s create something unforgettable together.

Welcome to a Fashion Design Experience That’s All About You As your fashion design mentor, my approach goes beyond sewing seams and sketching silhouettes—it's about helping you discover your unique voice in fashion. Here’s what sets my teaching apart: Individual Creativity First Every designer has a story. I don’t teach you how to create like someone else—I guide you to explore your own perspective, culture, and ideas so your work stands out as original, thoughtful, and bold. Hands-On Learning, Always From the first day, you’ll be sketching, draping, experimenting, and making. I believe in learning by doing—because fashion isn't just something you learn, it's something you live. Design With Purpose I push you to think deeper. Who are you designing for? Why does it matter? We talk sustainability, inclusivity, and storytelling—so your work doesn’t just look good, it means something. Real-World Ready I bring industry insight into the classroom—whether it's critiques, portfolio-building, or collaborating on mock fashion shows. You won’t just be a student; you’ll feel like a designer in training. Supportive, Not Standardized I teach with compassion, not comparison. I challenge you, but I also listen. Whether you’re finding your style or breaking boundaries, I’m here to help you grow your confidence and your craft. Bottom line: If you're ready to dive into design with heart, hustle, and your own creative compass—I’m here to help you turn your vision into reality.

Deborah is a very skillful designer. She is very articulate and very friendly. I see from her and keep going back. And she is also a great teacher. Started learning how to sew from her and oh my! Her patience level is very high and commendable. I recommend strongly
