My name is Wataya Desiree. I am 22 years old , born and raised in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa.

I graduated from Vega with an IIE BA degree in Fashion Design with Distinction.

I am a hard-working and driven individual that believes in uniqueness and staying true to who you are.

People often didn't agree with my designs as they are different and targeted toward a niche' market. I believe that people should follow their own path and be proud of the journey they are on.

I struggled a lot with the concept above, but I'm no longer afraid of being me or standing for what I believe in.

I love everything to do with fashion; be it history, textiles, technology, retail, business, trend-setting, illustration and design. Since I was a little girl, I always loved drawing and sketching designs, and as I grew a bit older, I developed my drawing ability and my love for design blossomed. Fashion Design was nothing how I imagined it to be when I went to study; but it was the greatest surprise of my life. It is so intense and so indepth in all fields of the fashion industry. My love for fashion grew way further than just designing and it has become my passion.
