Is cocorosa your real name?
no, my real name is Chantal van der Meijden
Where are you from?
I'm from the Netherlands (Holland)
What is your profession?
I am a Graphic and Fashion Designer and have worked the past 5 years as a stylist, fashion designer, trend forecaster and art director for different companies in Europe and the US (New York)
What camera do you use?
I use a Canon Rebel T1I with a 50mm 1:1.4 lens
Who takes your photos?
friends and family
How do you edit your photos?
I edit my photos in Adobe Photoshop, under the tab workshops you can find straight to the point personalized workshops and tutorials. For those who are new to Photoshop and want extra help I offer a personal one-on-one approach so you can get customized to the program and learn the tricks you want on your own paste. (coming soon)
Where are you now?
Right now I'm back in the Netherlands to set up my own company and where its easier for me to travel around within Europe and back and forth to New York... and yes... I will always bounce back to New York :)
How did you get a job in New York?
I applied for a trend forecaster/designer opening that I saw online (on fashion.net) while being on a 4 day vacation in New York (about 5 years ago) and got the job! because I just graduated I could apply for a J1 visa (professional career training) which is a very good visa to start on for both you as well as the USA company that wants to hire you! After about a year my company transferred the J1 visa to the H1b visa.
Do you need a visa to work in the USA?
Yes! there are a lot of different visa's for lots of different jobs etc. If you just graduated I suggest you look into the J1 visa / professional career training, other favorite visa's of mine are the H1b and the artist visa.
Are you going to make more diy tights?
Yes, I'm totally planning to make more tights, clothing etc and I will absolutely make more tutorials!!
