Stella Dontje is a New England-born textile surface design student currently based in New York City, studying for a BFA at the Fashion Institute of Technology (2025-2027). She has a strong technical grounding in both digital and hands-on textile production - Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, weaving, and screen printing - and is currently undertaking a study abroad in Textile Design at the University of the Arts London (Feb-Jun 2026). Her profile is pre-commercial; she prefers enquiries directed to her website portfolio.

Dontje's documented work is design-school rigorous and conceptually driven. A Josef Albers-inspired barware collection (2025) demonstrates engagement with colour theory and modular structure applied to product design. Screen-printed clothes indicate a fashion-adjacent practice with hands-on production methodology. Selected portfolio images suggest a range of surface treatments developed from strong colour relationships and visual storytelling foundations.

Skilled in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, hand-weaving, and screen printing. Her FIT training encompasses both digital and physical textile disciplines. Portfolio hosted on Adobe Portfolio; she requests that work be taken from her website rather than Instagram.

Currently a student with no documented commercial client history. Project output spans barware design, womenswear, and printed textiles. Profile is appropriate for discovery ahead of graduation.

Originally from New England. Enrolled in BFA Textile Design at Fashion Institute of Technology, New York (2025-2027). Study abroad in Textile Design at University of the Arts London (Feb-Jun 2026). Applied to patterndesigners.com in May 2026.

Work developed in an academic context: structured surface explorations, screen-printed textiles, and colour-led compositions. The Josef Albers reference indicates a rigorous engagement with colour theory as a design foundation. The portfolio features output across multiple textile formats including print and woven construction.
