Theresia Grevinga

With a background in fashion design and after several jobs in the field of fashion and interior design, Theresia Grevinga made the transition from industry to education. She has extensive experience in teaching, research and project management, wrote several publications and presented her work at national and international conferences. For years, she has been involved in Saxion’s Sustainable & Functional Textiles research group where she coordinates national projects on sustainability with different perspectives and for various clients. In this capacity, she can combine her knowledge of fashion, sustainability and research and bridge the gap between fashion design and textile technology in which sustainability is an important pillar. In 2013, she obtained her Master of Arts from the Utrecht School of the Arts. In addition, since 2018, Theresia has been programme director of the master ‘Innovative Textile Development’, within Saxion and is also president of NETFAS, an association of Universities of Applied Sciences within Europe that facilitates research into all aspects of textiles and fashion.
