JL STUDIO

I’m Jordan Leal, an Apparel and Merchandising student at Colorado State University graduating in 2027 with a focus on apparel design and product development. My work explores the intersection of fashion, music, and visual culture, often drawing inspiration from electronic music, nightlife, and retro-futurist aesthetics. I’m especially interested in how color, texture, and silhouette can translate energy and atmosphere into wearable design. Through my coursework and personal projects, I’ve developed skills in fashion illustration, pattern-making, and digital design using tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and CLO 3D. I approach design with both creativity and technical precision, aiming to create garments that feel thoughtful, expressive, and visually striking.
