Job Title: Production Assistant
Primary Responsibilities: Oversee Production, Costing, and Manufacturing required to create a collection Describe a typical work day There hasn’t really been a typical workday thus far. Sure I follow up with emails and clients everyday, but I always have a different task to carry out and it is always a learning experience.

What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of?

It’s rewarding to have finished two years of non-stop, strenuous school, but I am most proud of the overall hard work I put in. I had no idea I had it in me to be a straight A student, but it definitely helped that this is what I love to do.

What are your creative inspirations or influences? Who are your heroes?

My creative inspiration is the world around me and the experiences I have in it. I could say my hero’s were Coco Chanel, Valentino, and Alexander McQueen but mine isn’t a designer, he’s my husband. He pushed me to live out my dream and supported me the whole way.
