Happy holidays, #NCStateWilson!
From designing a fashion line for Threads to working on research for Senior Design, here’s a look back at what you did this year.
These fashion development and product management seniors spent their semester mood-boarding and turning those ideas into designs.
Swipe through to see how their designs turned out!
Two degrees are better than one – especially if one is an #NCStateWilson degree!
Fatemeh Haydari (TE ‘25) set off to major in both textile engineering and biomedical engineering because she noticed how both programs really complement each other.
“I definitely think textiles adds to the BME field rather than vice versa, but in a lot of my BME classes, we talk about tissue engineering, scaffolding and stuff like that, which are often made out of textile materials. Especially the polymer engineering that we go into a lot for TE definitely helps with that,” Fatemeh says.

Live from New York, it’s FSF Live!
This past year, Celia Fennell (FTM-FDPM ‘26) and Rachel Kelly (FTM-BMM ‘26) participated in FSF’s signature case study competition and submitted their ideas to earn a scholarship and some time in the city.
The three-day FSF Live event connected them with over 900 industry leaders, including Macy’s chief executive officer, and featured a Q&A with KidSuper and the FSF Gala.
Read more about Celia and Rachel’s experiences at the link below.
That feeling when it’s finally safe to step on the seal!

We’re so glad high school you made the decision to come to #NCStateWilson! 🐾❤️🐺
Congrats, class of 2025, you did it!
Spending the fall weaving >>>
Textile design students taking FTD 375 spent the semester in our hand weaving studio exploring basic structures, textures and color effects. From setting up their looms to creating products out of their woven fabrics, they gained hands-on experience with every step.
Take a look through some of their designs and process!
Merging a love of engineering and fashion? That’s the #NCStateWilson dream!
Nicole Rosario-Ortiz (M.S. TE ’23) came to Wilson to pursue her master’s after gaining an interest in sustainable fashion.
Now, as a senior consultant textile engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton in Washington, D.C., Nicole works with government clients on national security projects. The best part? Having fellow Wilson alumni as her coworkers!
