An Inuvialuk designer says her time on Project Runway Canada was a "career highlight" and an opportunity to showcase some of her culture.

Taalrumiq, an Inuvialuk and Gwich'in designer from Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T. now living in Vancouver, fell to a double elimination in a team challenge on the third episode, airing last Friday.

"It’s so much more than just me as a designer," she said.

"This is going to have impact for my nation, the Inuvialuit and the Gwich’in, my community and beyond."
