Cynthia House of Beauty

For five months I worked alongside Cynthia, the owner and CEO of Cynthia House of Beauty during the season of custom prom dresses.

I was an assistant fashion designer, seamstress, and illustrator. This experience was very hands on and it involved growing my skills in craftsmanship, clientele and management. I worked with new fabrics, new techniques and it showed me the side of special occasion wear and customization of the fashion industry. As well as being independently owned, I was able to have insight on the business and marketing aspects of the company.
