We are happy to announce the winner of 2024 Scholarship – Nancy Baltazar.
Tell us more about yourself…
I’m a fashion designer born in Mexico, and I’m living currently in Toronto, ON, where I graduated from Centennial College with a Diploma in Fashion Business and Management. I have been living in Canada for two and a half years, and it is my
intention to establish a business in this country in a couple of years. My interest in fashion started at a very young age, with the desire to channel my creativity in a way that was also functional. I’ve had the opportunity to work in three countries now, France, Mexico and Canada, focusing mainly in hat making and textile design. I define myself as a curious soul who likes to learn and apply the knowledge in unusual ways, so I’m always looking for ways to improve my design. Aside from fashion, I’m
interested in illustration, film, photography, and dance.
