Sydney Lauren
Industrial Design
& Eco-friendly Fashion
I’m a senior studying Industrial Design at the University of Kansas, with a strong passion for sustainable design and creative problem-solving. I chose this field because I believe thoughtful, sustainable design can make a real difference for both us and the planet. My focus is on soft goods, and I’m always eager to keep expanding my skills.
Alongside my studies, I run a small clothing business where I upcycle used garments into new pieces, blending my love for design with sustainability. Through this work, I’ve collaborated with other small businesses on tags, logos, and pop-up events, building community while bringing new life to old materials.
About Me
Featured Products
Inspired by 70s groove and 90s edge. Each pair is made from two pairs of recycled jeans, joined by a curved seam that flatters the body’s natural line.
The waist measurement is 38” and the inseam is 43”.
Handmade patchwork purse inspired by vintage 90s accessories. It’s perfect to spice up a casual outfit or bring on a night on the town. I made this from recycled leather, cotton fabric, and acquired hardware.
It’s 9” wide, 4.5” tall and 1.5 thick”. There is a small card or lipstick pocket on the inside and it clasps with a magnet.
