Work History

Intern

ShapesUSA

05.2025 - 08.2025

One of my primary focuses was the packaging and shipping of clothing orders (~40-60 orders per day)
I also spent a considerable amount of time taking different pieces of ShapesUSA clothing at various stages in production around the Los Angeles garment district for necessary alterations and improvements (I would take a sample T-shirt to the dye house to get it a specific color, I would take raw pieces of cut denim to our primary sewing house, e.g.)
Concise communication was integral for this aspect of the job, as it was often necessary to negotiate prices and deadlines
My favorite aspect of this job was that creative input was encouraged from me; frequently, the owner of ShapesUSA would ask my opinion on a cut of jeans, a color of a T-shirt, a hoodie design, and what pieces I thought would be stylish and topical additions to the ShapesUSA catalog
I would also post social media content wearing ShapesUSA clothing
A continuing role at this company has been offered to me for when I return to Los Angeles
