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.

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.
