After the first two years at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute I realised I had gathered an interest for textiles and product development, rather than marketing and branding. The last two years of my bachelors I was given the opportunity to explore this interest further and among other things, do a specialisation Make and Buy at AMFI. The program included courses and projects in knitting, collection designing, seasonal planning, cost price calculations and quality management. The purpose of the specialisation was to develop and buy fashion for retailers in the role of a buyer or product manager.
