Chinyere Ugoji
I have known Damian to be an extremely creative designer who has always been on the cutting edge of innovative product. He is also very technically skilled in the creative process, mastering the art of draping, pattern making, and illustration while paying acute attention to detail. Although Damian's design skills are paramount, it is his ability to remain positive and professional throughout his endeavors while using critical thinking in solving key design and business issues, that allow him to stand out from others in the business of designer fashion. He is self-motivated and has been instrumental in motivating and mentoring others. He has earned many awards in school and has always had the respect and admiration of his peers. Damian's work at top design houses speaks for itself. It's a pleasure knowing Damian in both a personal and professional capacity.
