About
Hi! I'm Meilin and I grew up basically all over the world (Indonesia, India, Kenya, Argentina, Switzerland, Ecuador, Sri Lanka, and more), because my father worked in hotels. This exposure to cultures... , religions, ways of living, traditions, and so on, has enriched me with the capability to understand free of judgment and to have patience, to stay grounded in changing, unpredictable times, and to show compassion.
I graduated from Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC with a degree in Fashion Design and I spent 16 years in this industry, training and leading various design teams and successfully creating seasonal collections including having my own sustainable brand (RTW and activewear). I love sharing my knowledge and guiding creative minds. I am also a content creator/video streamer on YouTube for: starting your fashion business, this is a free channel - you're welcome to visit: https://www.youtube.com/@meilinrohrer1000 . I can help you from learning how to sketch using free hand or Adobe Illustrator to understanding garment construction to building a fashion brand and so much more.
I also volunteered for about 5 years at Matahari Terbit Center - a non-profit center for underprivileged children with cerebral palsy, in Bali. I was involved in every step from teaching English, organizing lesson plans to heading all marketing, funding, and creating their newsletters. This experience is what cemented my desire to foster students’ development, continue to establish meaningful relationships and to empower and encourage children and adults alike with tools to succeed. That's also when I decided to complete my TEFL certificate to be able to teach English, all levels in a fun and motivating way.
I speak fluent Spanish, a little German and Italian. I love traveling and the outdoors, Muay Thai training, playing soccer, volcano hiking, writing poetry, and being surrounded by friends and family.read more
