ABOUT ME
A PASSION FOR FASHION
My name is Victoria Aiken and I am an Alumni student from Savannah College of Art & Design.
I have earned my BFA in Fashion Design minoring in Fashion Marketing and Management class of 2021.
I’ve been passionate about fashion my whole life, and embarked on my fashion journey since about 2012.
I then decided to turn my passion into a reality by joining the fashion industry as a professional and I will continue to work hard at my craft.
Thank you.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Getting this far has been anything but smooth, but I’m so thankful for all the awesome experiences I got to have in the process. Since becoming a professional, I’ve had the chance to work with extremely talented people in the world of fashion, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without everything I learned from them. Have a look at my CV for details about my work experience.
