Hi, I'm your instructor!
Hi, I’m Aliyah Haynes, a NYC-based fashion designer who loves turning fabric into wearable art. At Meen Studios, I guide you through draping directly on the body, letting shapes emerge naturally instead of forcing them on paper. This kind of hands-on, intuitive learning is rare, and my goal is to help you design, drape, and build garments with confidence, whether it’s for yourself, your brand, or just to explore your creativity.
Book A Virtual 1:1 Private Lesson
What you'll learn
- Focused studio lessons built around draping fundamentals with an evolving dress form system that helps you see balance, proportion, and shape more clearly
- Printable process pages and worksheets designed to document your ideas, experiments, and growth
- A flexible, self-paced learning experience that fits into your creative rhythm
- A system that grows with you, adding depth as new tools, methods, and studio resources are introduced
Why Meen Studios is different
Learn to drape with intuition, confidence, and intention.
Meen Studios doesn’t separate creativity from technique. Instead of rigid steps or chasing perfection, this atelier-style space centers intuition, experimentation, and structure working together. You learn to design directly on the body, trust the process, and refine ideas with intention so you’re not just making garments, you’re developing confidence, clarity, and your own design language.
