it's been amazing ever since freshman
year I've grown as a designer I've grown

0:00:11.700,0:00:16.320
as a person I've grown as a
businesswoman because of all the things

0:00:16.320,0:00:22.710
I've been learning here at Cornell it's
not just about making something pretty

0:00:22.710,0:00:30.830
anymore it has to make sense and not
just aesthetically but also morally.

0:00:30.830,0:00:36.840
I launched my own womenswear brand when I
was in my sophomore year. production is

0:00:36.840,0:00:43.140
very ethical no animal products organic
luxury textiles from Peru and always

0:00:43.140,0:00:50.070
fair wages always. I want to show the
fashion world that you can be profitable

0:00:50.070,0:00:55.250
and you can be fashionable and you can
be ethical at the same time

0:00:55.250,0:01:00.030
it's just been fantastic to work with
the professors there is such a low

0:01:00.030,0:01:03.870
ratio of professor to student that you
really get to build relationships with

0:01:03.870,0:01:09.960
them. I email my professors constantly
because of either something to do with

0:01:09.960,0:01:13.590
class or something to do with my
business and they email me back

0:01:13.590,0:01:18.960
immediately they want to help me they
want to be my advisors the greatest

0:01:18.960,0:01:24.930
thing is that I know I can always write
to them and ask them for guidance in my

0:01:24.930,0:01:30.229
career as a designer and they're going
to give me that guidance
