HOWARD UNIVERSITY
Jade is a multifaceted senior design student and a future Creative Director who is already breaking barriers and making a difference. Her talents and passions include illustration, modeling, and travel blogging. As a child, she was always digging through her mother’s magazines, closet, and makeup drawer to transform herself into the supermodels she aspired to be like, such as Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks. Today, she will dig through anyone’s closet (including yours) for exclusive fashionable finds. Jade has had many opportunities that have fueled her skills and interests, and she continues to pursue various endeavors. She studied Fashion at SCAD, interned as a Global Makeup Artist at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in NYC, and studied abroad in the UAE at the American University of Sharjah. Most recently, she completed various freelance graphic design projects, modeled for Creme of Nature’s International 2018 Hair Campaign, and has been checking destinations off her bucket list.
