Congratulations to our Technical Apparel grads, who have spent the last 4 months researching, testing, and developing their innovative capstone projects. These projects push the boundaries of human potential and solve real world problems to allow humans to move faster, survive longer, and explore further. Today’s projects showcase the work of grads Gaby Hebert, Denia C\u00e1rdenas, and Hanae Yaskawa.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Special Thanks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our industry partners for their guidance and expertise, supporting our students with the production of their high quality prototypes. The Wilson School of Design\u2019s Technical Apparel conceptual prototypes would not have been possible without the help of: Mustang Survival<\/a> for supporting Gaby Herbert, Laura Hutchison (KPU Alumna) for supporting Denia C\u00e1rdenas, and Arc’teryx<\/a> for supporting Hanae Yaskawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
