Rayne: Fashion
Designer
My journey has definitely been unconventional and I’ve kind of stumbled into every position I’ve held. I started off in tech and from there I went into interior design to finally land in fashion. Though they are all very different, each industry has taught me a lot of valuable lessons.
Take nothing personal and ask for help when you need it. I am very much a do it yourself kind of person and I had to learn the importance of community. It can be a game changer, especially as an entrepreneur.
Try new things. I’ve jumped around industries and tried out new roles and it ultimately led me to what I do now and I genuinely feel like I was destined to do this.
Figuring out what it was I wanted to do. But with each new job it led me closer to figuring it out.
When I landed in fashion, I didn’t know exactly where I would end up but it felt more like me then anything else I’d done previously.
Observing the passion in my peers. Seeing others chase their dreams and realize them can be the gas you need to realize your own.
I still deal with doubt, it’s a normal human emotion but my confidence in myself and my abilities always outweigh the bit of doubt that creeps in.
You’re here because you deserve to be here. It may be hard but you have to hold onto that.
