HI, MY NAME IS DEBORAH LA VON KAUFELDT-BOARDMAN, AND I AM A FASHION DESIGNER GRADUATING FROM OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN. MY MAIN INTEREST IS THE MORE TECHNICAL SIDE OF FASHION SUCH AS PATTERNING AND SAMPLE MAKING. SINCE A YOUNG AGE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN GOING TO SCHOOL FOR FASHION DESIGN. EVEN WITH A FEW BUMPS ALOT THE WAY I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE RIGHT PATH THAT LED ME WHERE I AM TODAY. I THINK THE MOMENT THAT TRULY ESTABLISHED THAT FASHION WAS WHERE I WANTED TO BE WAS WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO SEW WITH A MACHINE. SINCE THEN I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK AND HAVE CONTINUED ON MY JOURNEY TO ACCOMPLISH MUY DREAM.
