Hello!

My name is India De Maio - welcome!

I am a fashion designer with 5 years of experience, spanning direct to retail and print design. My personal work incorporates embellishments using embroidery, sequins, beads, jewels (anything that adds texture, really!) and my own photography to create unique designs.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design in which I alternated semesters of full-time work and study. Some highlights during my college career include my time at LoveShackFancy studying and modernizing archival garments, and studying abroad in Paris honing my couture embroidery skills with experts.

I am eager to incorporate an inclusive and sustainable ethos throughout my designs, and have dreams of creative directing for a high-end fashion label. I would describe my style as feminine yet modern.

Some of my favorite things to do include embroidery, cooking, drawing, traveling, vintage shopping, and knitting. I am usually described by my friends and family as funny, reliable, and very organized. I have two cats named Bean and Gigi and they are my babies.
