Herberger Institute
Braden Sterkel is a student at Arizona State University studying Apparel Product Development, with a creative focus on the intersection of design, construction, and storytelling through fashion. Their work explores how garments function as both practical products and expressive forms, emphasizing thoughtful design, material choice, and process-driven development.
Braden’s interests include apparel design, product lifecycle development, sustainable and upcycled materials, and creative experimentation through iteration. Drawing from hands-on making and conceptual exploration, they are interested in how fashion can communicate identity, adapt to real-world use, and evolve through design refinement. Through coursework and independent projects, Braden continues to develop a product-focused yet artistic approach to apparel and creative design.
