I currently own and operate a small clothing brand that focuses on alternative K-Pop merchandise. I oversee all aspects of the brand including product design, book-keeping, website development, and social media marketing. Since it is an independent project, one of the biggest skills I’ve learned is informed decision-making—making sure I’ve done proper research and standing behind what I believe is best for my brand.

I run a small clothing brand and am required to be always detail-oriented. For instance, my brand was in the process of switching printers and I had to do my due diligence to ensure the transfer went smoothly. This meant researching the printing methods used to produce my apparel, comparing fulfillment times and prices, testing customer support, etc. I also had to investigate smaller details such as handling of international customs, durability of apparel during wash, compliance with U.S. regulations, etc. I prioritized this thorough research because I wanted the best experience for my customers.
