Hi I'm Mya! I am a Fashion Design and Fashion Business Management graduate from FIT with a passion for making a difference through the next generations. I found fashion and clothes at a young age to be a creative and expressive outlet that later lead into my career path! There is a beautiful combination of right and left brain- creative and technical- applications that can be adapted for all ages to learn and apply to their everyday lives. Whether it be fashion sketching, sewing, upcycling, patternmaking, printmaking, or altering/tailoring, there's a benefit of fashion education for everyone. I can't wait to turn a career that may feel surface level at times into something that gives a hand to something bigger, like teaching!
