ABOUT TEEGAN:
Teegan is a determined young woman set to achieve her desire to become a creative fashion designer.
It was a visit to the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane to see a Valentino clothing exhibition when she was in year 10 in high school that first inspired Teegan.
“I was amazed by the exquisite beauty of the garments and knew at that moment I wanted to make garments just like Valentino.”
Her studies with TAFE QLD in Brisbane were instrumental in her drive to participate in WorldSkills. Thanks to her TAFE education, Teegan was equipped with confidence and knowledge of the design/production process as well as comprehensive portfolio which helped her find work.
WorldSkills has taught her the value of teamwork, being focused and essential time management skills – all crucial traits that will help her establish her career in fashion.
Teegan’s experience of winning Gold at the 2016 WorldSkills National was “indescribable”. My next goal is to continue my training overseas and bring my new skills back to Australia to train the next batch of up and coming fashion designers.”
In addition to being a WorldSkills Medallist, Tegan is has also experienced glory in the sporting arena having been a National Champion in springboard platform diving!
*The 2017 Skillaroos team will be announced in July 2017.
** Australia is currently ranked 12th in the world and in 2017 we aspire to break into the top 10.
