ALL ABOUT STYLED BY NICOLE RAY

A little about me!

These past couple of years, Covid-19 has changed how our society operates daily. We’ve all started new projects, and passions, and finding out what really (or doesn’t) interest us! I’m very much so included in finding out what I'm passionate about, and where I want to take my career. Along with a lot of thinking and trying new things, I’ve become fascinated by the fashion industry. I’ve always been into beauty and fashion! I attended cosmetology school when I was 18 and in my free time, I would create mood boards from different magazines of trendy clothing, which lead me to figure out my personal style.

Continuing my love for fashion, I started interning at a nonprofit consignment boutique. There, I was surrounded by so many unique pieces of clothing that I got to take inventory and create SKU numbers of. I was given the responsibility to recreate the displays, and also work alongside our E-commerce team to market pieces of luxury clothing and accessories for our websites. Creating unique pieces for many occasions has been such a fun way for me execute my ideas and stay on top of trends.
