Arc’firyx collection
The Arc’firyx collection was developed as part of a collaborative project aimed at reimagining workwear for wildland firefighters by integrating technical performance, sustainability, and user comfort. Our goal was to design a cohesive line that met stringent safety standards while addressing the real-world needs of high-intensity fieldwork. My role focused on material research, design development, and garment functionality—ensuring each piece combined protective features, ergonomic construction, and refined aesthetic detailing. This project deepened my understanding of purpose-driven design and the importance of balancing industry regulations with creative innovation to produce high-performance apparel that truly serves its users.
