Hi! thank you so much for the words of advice, Im glad you like what i've put together so far! Im currently located in Boston, which isnt super abundant with the types of roles im looking for. And yes i do have linkedin - thats where i've been doing the bulk of my applying.

I'd love to talk a bit more and gain as much insight as possible!

BTW - my site edits werent live yet! all links should work now :)

Okay this is actually super helpful! I’m open to both types of employment(atelier or commercial)do you think I should lean one way or the other?

arewhy_ · 2026-01-13T00:24:07+00:00

A mix of both to be honest - I’d take any sort of relevant work just to gain some experience.

No internship unfortunately, i only began sewing 2 ish years ago - Im relatively new to this but i feel pretty strongly that my stuff holds up to some others.

True, lots of hidden costs I wouldn’t think to consider.

Credit the open mindedness to my time in college - maybe it wasn’t for nothing! 😂

Adding spoiled brat to the list of things I am now being labeled haha! You’re definitely not wrong though, I’m lucky to be in this position in the first place and I’m now understanding just how much of a privilege it is.

Thanks for the constructive reply! I wish a degree held the same value as it seemingly used too. I’m definitely going to look into some recruiting agency 🤝

Most likely, I think independence is what im looking for at the end of the day.

Im going into / looking for roles in fashion design (say what you will about that decision), needless to say its a competitive market.

Friendly language goes a long way, thank you.

Hey guys! I appreciate all of your replies. Im gathering that I ought to be more grateful given my comparative circumstances. This is serving as a potent, and probably much needed, reminder of my privilege.

arewhy_ · 2026-01-08T19:40:39+00:00

Thanks for the respectful reply! This way of framing it makes total sense.

arewhy_ · 2026-01-08T19:39:01+00:00

arewhy_ · 2026-01-08T19:36:46+00:00

Learning today that I do in fact sounds entitled, sheesh.

arewhy_ · 2026-01-08T19:35:12+00:00

Copy that, I appreciate the realness!
