Why me?
Short story: I’ve worked in fashion tech for the past 4 years and have matured my career out of building a network of founders & entrepreneurs in the space. I have a degree in Product Design and a masters in Human Factors & Ergonomics. I run a design & creative agency, Cropd, working with fashion tech clients to build the next gen of shopping. Prior to Cropd, I lead product design at a pre-seed fashion rental platform and a Series A startup in the integrated resale space. Since posting about fashion tech on Tiktok, I’ve grown a great network of fashion tech resources. I’ll be sharing those resources with you!
Long Story: If you’ve come from Tiktok you know a large chunky of my content is about fashion tech. I started posting about fashion tech in 2022 shortly after I landed my first full-time fashion tech gig. I was in love with the company & the work we were doing. Prior to this, I was working in the medical device industry and was dying to get into fashion. This felt like I finally made it. We partnered with fashion brands like Michael Kors, Steve Madden, Frye, Mansur Gaveriel, Clare V, Zara and so many more! I was so passionate about the work I started sharing it on the internet.
”You’re living my dream job!” “I didn’t know that was an industry” “What is fashion tech” followed every video in the comment section.
So I started sharing more about my knowledge and experiences in fashion tech. It is a very new industry with little information out there. I wanted to do my best to spread this information.
After posting a Tiktok series of videos that contained lists of fashion tech companies, I started to connect with these founders and entrepreneurs. I’ve been able meet mentors, create friendships, and join communities - even flew out to New York Fashion Week for a fashion tech expo (there will another Sept 2024, stay tuned).
Now, through this channel, I will continue to share information on the fashion tech industry, resources, job openings, events, networking opportunities, news and innovations.
I want what you want!
