How to Find your Passion in Life - Tezza Barton Shared the Secret to Success. Tezza Barton is the founder of the Tezza app, a photo editing app with 30,000 5-star reviews in the App Store. But she never set out to be a tech entrepreneur. Her story isn't a straight line to success, so I loved talking with her. Like most successful people, she tried several different things before finding something that hit. Her first passion was music, and she was in bands for years. She was interested in art and design and went to the Parsons School Of Design. She started photography and fell in love with it. She made a living from it, went Instagram came out and went all in. She was all about providing value for her followers. The kids in art school thought it was stupid and a waste of time. But she continued and ignored her haters because she knew she was on to something. She provided tips, tricks, and inspiration to her followers who were into photography. After a while, her followers told her they needed a simple app to edit photos and give them the effects she used. So, she worked with her husband on it for over a year before it dropped. It was an immediate hit! We discussed founding a company, women in business, tech, startups, music, and so much more.

Hello beautiful people  On today's podcast we have the curious Jeffrey Madoff. Jeffrey began his earlier years as a fashion designer, then turning to film and video production directing award winning commercials, documentaries and web content around the world for client's such as Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret and Tiffany. He is the author of the book, ‘Creative Careers: Making a Living With Your Ideas', which is based on the class he teaches at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York. He is also a playwright and theatre producer. What I personally love about this conversation is Jeffrey's passion of placing attention on the false dichotomy between creativity and business. For me personally, and friends in my circle, some of us have found it difficult navigating the path between identifying as an artist, a creative, and that of an entrepreneur or establishing a career through your creative pursuit in some form. I find the topic very interesting between the practice of authenticity and marketing, and I pose these reflections to Jeffrey. He shares with us the importance of understanding what success personally means to you and how building a brand is a story well told. He shares a personal story of working in partnership with his dear friend Ralph Lauren and how showing your humanity is important both in business and life.As always, if you are enjoying this podcast, please rate, leave a review, I love reading your beautiful reviews, share with friends and family, particularly if you have creatives in your own life exploring the path of business, become part of the To Be Human Collective, and bring your creative heart and business mind into this conversation with the lovely Jeffrey Madoff.Connect with MeMindset Coaching | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram Personal | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseConnect with JeffreyInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/acreativecareer Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/madoffproductions Website | https://www.acreativecareer.com

She currently serves as Dean Curriculum + Learning & Special Advisor to the Provost Office on Curriculum Parsons School of Design and is an Associate Professor in the School of Fashion at. Since 2010 she has served in key leadership roles in the School of Fashion, first as Director of Academic Affairs and then as School Associate Dean. Yvonne's expertise and experience have been integral to our curricular planning for many years, at the school, Parsons, and university levels. Her role as Advisor to the Provost's Office on Curriculum will allow Yvonne to expand upon this work and ensure that the curricular needs and priorities of Parsons are well represented at the university level, while formalizing the role she already plays in supporting cross-college and university-wide initiatives. The transition to online delivery as a result of the pandemic, and the imminent return to onsite teaching and learning, has altered many of our long-held views of how pedagogy and curriculum can be shaped. Yvonne will use her time in this role to bring leadership to the broader enquiry of how we can approach inclusive and innovative pedagogy within this changing landscape. Since 2018, Yvonne has served as Parsons' Associate Dean of Curriculum and Learning. She previously served as the Associate Dean in the School of Fashion, where she was instrumental in the development and implementation of the BFA Fashion Design curriculum and articulation of pathways. She is also Associate Professor within the School of Fashion, where she has taught for over ten years. Yvonne's career has spanned roles that have encompassed both undergraduate and graduate studies as Program Director for BA Fashion Knitwear Design, MA Textile Design and Innovation, and MA Decorative Arts at Nottingham Trent University. She holds a Master's in Globalization, Identity and Technology from The School of Humanities, Nottingham Trent University. Her interests are in transforming the current context for the global supply chain in order to raise awareness as to the inhuman practices that currently exist in the fashion industry, gender pay gap, below minimum or living wages for workers. The intention is to bridge the fashion industry and education so that we can collectively develop an alternative fashion supply chain with a vision to creating an industry where human rights and sustainable living goals are central. She has worked for developing and emerging communities and has travelled to areas such as Ethiopia and Mongolia, to work with communities of women to enhance their product development process. Her career has spanned roles that have encompassed both undergraduate and postgraduate program director for BA Fashion Knitwear Design, MA Textile Design and Innovation, and MA Decorative Arts at Nottingham Trent University. She holds a BA in Fashion Knitwear Design from Nottingham Trent University in the UK, and a Masters in Globalization, Identity and Technology from The School of Humanities, Nottingham Trent University. Early in her career, she worked for a mid-range knitwear design company in New York before returning to the United Kingdom, where she designed and manufactured her own fashion knitwear line, Alpha-Omega, which sold in the UK, US and Hong Kong, before becoming a full-time academic.

Exploramos esta visión del futuro subterráneo con el profesor Alonso Castro.This week, we continue our collaboration with Parsons School of Design. We speak to one design student, Shawn Zhang, to discover the fascinating material that could lie in our future: mycelium.

Shawn has created a project of speculative design that reimagines mycelium as a food, architectural material, and source of energy. We explore this vision of an underground future with professor Alonso Castro.Producido por Anna Oakes.Photo Courtesy of Shawn Zang.Buenlimón Radio is powered by Simplecast.

Iconic Fashion For The Screen. Emmy award winning costume designer Ellen Mirojnick’s work has brought us stylishly iconic film + tv characters for decades. There’s Ellen’s infamous Gordon Gekko in Wall Street, and her Alex Forest played by Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Ellen’s look for Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct is unforgettable. There’s Diane Lane’s sleek look that Mirojnick deems “Parisian”, in Unfaithful, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s uptown sophistication in A Perfect Murder. Cocktail, Speed, Jacob's Ladder, What Women Want---the list of her projects is as grand as it is long. Mirojnick created a whole new world of showgirl-chic, her costumes almost entirely the reason why the campy film Showgirls became a cult favorite. After the film’s release, it seemed everyone wanted a little sparkle and a little Versace in their lives. Steven Soderbergh’s Behind The Candelabra won her an Emmy. And of course, there’s Bridgerton. On this podcast, Ellen talks all about the look and says she’s never seen such fanfare tied to her work like her work for the Shondaland series for Netflix. Yet another example of how Mirojnick’s designs trickle into culture and inform the way we dress. On this podcast we of course discuss her collaborations with the world’s most talented and esteemed directors like Soderbergh, Oliver Stone, Tony and Ridley Scott, Adrian Lyne, Nancy Myers, and more. We do a deep dive into the looks she created for her most famous film characters, and she takes us behind the scenes. There’s a story about she got kicked out of Parsons School Of Design, one about her first costume job on a soft porn film, and how a certain gentleman attempted to take credit for her work on Wall Street. Practically a painting prodigy at age 3, Bronx born and New York City bred Ellen Mirojnick was born to create. Her keen and transformational use of color, and the seductiveness and silhouetted style of her work will live on forever and continue to inspire.

El segundo episodio de "Estudiar Moda", una sección dedicada a quienes quieran hacer carrera en moda o complementar sus estudios con algo en el rubro. Este segundo episodio es con la uruguaya Guillermina Comas, también conocida como Wilhemina en Instagram, quien estudió Strategic Design and Management e hizo un Minor en Comunicación de Moda, en Parsons School of Design en NYC. Guillermina nos cuenta su experiencia en esta universidad con quien todo estudiante de diseño sueña y nos confirma que los rumores son ciertos: You never leave Parsons. 

Many people assume that to work in a particular field, you have to have a degree in that field. Well, sometimes this is true but not always. On this episode, we’re joined by Burak Cakmak who became Dean of Fashion at Parsons School of Design even though he didn't study fashion or have experience as a fashion designer. What he did have was a rich background in other aspects of the fashion business, especially supply chain and sustainability. Burak shares the deliberate actions he took to develop his expertise, gain exposure to all aspects of the industry, and build the credibility needed to rise to where he is today.It's an unforgettable story loaded with wisdom that can be applied in any industry.careercurves.com/burak-cakmak

Every day, masked behind seemingly harmless mobile applications and modern technology, there lies a darker force watching your every move – your routines, personal preferences, commonly visited locations, retail purchases and more. We're surrounded by this force and more often than not, have unknowingly ‘opted in' to providing this personal data. Technology has arguably progressed our world into a more informed, connected and efficient society. But at what cost?   David Carroll, associate professor at Parsons School of Design and a key subject on the original Netflix documentary, The Great Hack, joins The Business Communicators to look behind the curtain at the mass amounts of data collected by today's corporations, governments, and media sectors around the world In The Great Hack, Prof. Carroll explores how a data company named Cambridge Analytica came to symbolize the dark side of social media in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.   This insightful session sparks the questions that communicators may not want to ask, but need to in order to stay relevant: What is the new ‘holy grail' of digital marketing channels? How do data rights differ across various countries? Is it time to question the unfair deal we've made with technology? How do we renegotiate and make the trade more balanced? How do we prevent false advertising as communicators?   Join us in this captivating episode to learn who's watching…and if you have any privacy.   Connect with The Business Communicators on Twitter and Instagram and find out more about our chapter at IABCHouston.com.

I met Vanessa French-Harris when I spoke in Raleigh this month for the Hopscotch Design Festival. We spoke a bit before and after my talk, and I knew she would be fantastic to have on the show. Currently, she's the graphic design manager at Meredith College, and she has decades of experience in this industry. We talked about her time at Parsons in NYC and her work in the NYC design scene, her illustration work, and her priceless advice for designers in the field right now. I'm so glad I had the chance to connect with Vanessa, and I think you'll get a lot of gems out of this interview. Enjoy! Email Vanessa French-Harris Be a part of Revision Path's 100th episode!
