At 18, I moved to New York City to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology, where my career in fashion began. While still a student, I started working at the original Kate Spade flagship boutique on Broome Street in SoHo before moving into the brand’s sourcing and product development division. I had the unique opportunity to witness Kate Spade evolve from a small startup into a global accessories powerhouse.
Following my time there, I joined Gap Inc., working in pre-production with a focus on women’s and kids’ denim. The role took me from the company’s headquarters in San Francisco to global offices overseas, deepening my perspective on the fashion industry from both a creative and production standpoint.
After many years in New York City, my family and I made the move west to Los Angeles, where we put down roots and started a new chapter. In 2018, I launched Julesee.com, a fashion and lifestyle blog dedicated to sharing my love of style, cooking, travel, art, and the outdoors. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a space where I can connect with readers through the things that inspire me most.
