Ebony is a digital creator who wanted to combine her knowledge of art with her love of sneakers and footwear so, she enrolled in Yellowbrick’s Sneaker Essentials online course. Here, she discusses her student success.
The program prepared me to actually create a portfolio as I went along with each course. With this portfolio, I can submit to companies and seek employment within the sneaker industry.
ON CHOOSING SNEAKER ESSENTIALS —
The breakdown of the courses had a great deal of information which educated me every step of the way. It’s like a “Sneaker Bible” in encyclopedia form. Great source of information to prepare you for the sneaker game.
I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology a while back, and I’m aware that the school is known for its phenomenal education curriculum in the fashion industry. The bonus is that I am deaf/hard of hearing, so the subtitles/closed caption solidified the deal of me taking the program. The accessibility feature program is amazing.
ON BEING A YELLOWBRICK STUDENT —
I really liked the course that specifically teaches you how to communicate with wholesale companies and keep a strong relationship with your sneaker design supplier.
STUDENT SUCCESS IN REAL-LIFE APPLICATION —
The program prepared me to actually create a portfolio as I went along with each course. With this portfolio, I can submit to companies and seek employment within the sneaker industry.
ON THE PAST & WHAT’S NEXT —
I’m in the technology field with Apple, but I want to break barriers and change the game in the footwear industry. The future is in a deaf/hard-of-hearing female like me.
