I recently graduated from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, where I studied Entrepreneurship for the Fashion and Design Industries. My skillset is both analytical and creative: I'm experienced with everything from Excel and Shopify to Photoshop and Rhino 3D. I'm interested in the built environment, unique retail and hospitality concepts, and project management, with the dream of opening my own space.

Coursework

My FIT education covered a wide range of topics across business and design. I learned about developing projects based on brand identity, and developing that brand identity based on customers' wants and needs. My projects considered strategic and creative choices for built environments (my specialty) as well as business plans, marketing, and presentation decks.
