Create your own future

'No matter what you study or where you think your career might lead, you can create your own future.'
Karina and Samantha Seljak are the sisters who founded Seljak Brand. Becoming leaders of the circular economy, they have diverted more than 6,500 kilograms of textile waste from landfill into manufacturing merino wool blankets. In five years, Seljak Brand became a global product, expanding to stockists in New Zealand, Lebanon, Japan, Norway and Australia.

'I decided to go with QUT because it has the longest running fashion design program in Queensland. Doing a double degree definitely taps into different parts of my brain. Studying both my degrees together really has made me feel a lot more equipped for heading into the industry.'
