Launching a clothing line inspired and motivated me to learn more about the fashion industry. The desire to learn and test the limits of my creativity and abilities led me to enroll in the Parsons School of Design – Fashion Industry Essentials certificate program.

The program focused on five aspects of the fashion industry.
- Unlocking Visual Style
- Thinking Like a Designer
- Understanding Fashion Production
- Working in Fashion Media
- Developing Fashion and Marketing PR Skills
Each class involved a series of video lessons and projects that were to be completed to successfully complete the program. The projects included the design of accessories, clothing, photography, styling, production, media and final portfolio project.
The details for the projects can be found in previous blog posts listed below.
