Thrift for People
Founder and Art Direction. Worked with designer Merritt Schall.
Roles
Identifying the lack of affordable boutique-style thrift stores and the challenges of accessing post-high school education in my town, I created a nonprofit pop-up thrift store to address both issues. I developed a pricing structure that kept items affordable while dedicating 75% of our profits to community college scholarships, directly supporting education in the community. This initiative not only filled a local gap but also empowered students through financial assistance, showcasing my ability to create impactful solutions.
