Teaching for a better fashion industry, one lesson at a time!
I teach fashion design, illustration techniques, figure drawing, color theory, apparel tech design/product development, and fashion business best practices.
I teach here on YouTube, in universities and arts organizations, and via books and TV.
I also teach on Patreon! Take a university-level class at a non-university pace with me at patreon.com/zoehong
If you want to hire me to teach, speak, design, or illustrate, or need a private business consult, hit me up at teaching@zoehong.com.

My livestreams are a wild ride. The first half is a careful, considered lecture on how design and construction need to come together for engineered prints. The second half is an off-the-cuff rant on the devaluing of labor in pricing and how too many people only consider materials when assessing the cost of a thing. And then I round things out by sharing a TikTok account that brings me pure joy.

This is not my normal content but someone sent me the nicest email pleading with me to do a handwriting video. I know I've gotten lots of compliments on my handwriting in videos before.
Do y'all want a handwriting video?

Posted a tutorial on how to draft a basic jacket sleeve block pattern based off my measurements over on my new channel! https://youtu.be/0Wqr-bzW82w
(I've been going through the process of making a jacket block for myself, so we start with a second fitting to make sure the armhole works before adding the sleeve!)
