THE VISIONARY
Sarah Anza
My passion for fashion began at 11 years old when I started learning to construct clothing, eventually designing and sewing my own prom dress. I went on to earn my Bachelor’s degree at Mount Ida College in Newton, MA, where I learned to develop designs from concept through execution and truly found my identity as a designer.
Inspired by Art Deco, technology, and the constant evolution of fashion, I am passionate about pushing design forward through new ideas and concepts. Working with a variety of brands and freelance clients has strengthened my love for product development, problem-solving, and fashion forecasting. I’m fascinated by the process of turning an idea into a product and anticipating what will inspire the next generation of consumers.
I continued my education at Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree and developed my approach to design from concept through execution. College was where I truly found myself as a designer and discovered my fascination with Art Deco, industrial design, and the evolution of fashion through innovation. I have always been inspired by the relationship between technology and fashion and how new materials, processes, and ideas can push the industry forward.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across a variety of brands and freelance projects, designing for customers with different needs, goals, and aesthetics. These experiences taught me that what I love most about fashion is the entire product development process—taking an idea from an initial concept and transforming it into a thoughtful, functional, and compelling product. I am naturally driven by problem-solving and constantly looking ahead through fashion forecasting to understand what will become the next obsession. For me, design is about more than creating something beautiful; it is about continually asking what comes next and finding new ways to bring that vision to life.
