SOPHIE ARNOLD

As an Associate Designer at Target, I apply my passion and skills for denim to create stylish and comfortable products for Universal Thread and Ava & Viv. I work with a talented team of designers, merchandisers, and buyers to develop and execute seasonal concepts, line sheets, and technical flats, ensuring quality and consistency across the denim portfolio.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in August 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Fashion/Apparel Design, where I participated in the Professional Practice Program, alternating semesters of classroom study with work in the field of design. I gained valuable experience and insights from multiple internships at renowned fashion brands, such as PARTOW, Vince Camuto, L Brands Victoria Secret, Lands' End, and Natori, where I honed my skills in design, research, trend analysis, and team work. I also earned a certification in Branding Foundations from LinkedIn, which helped me understand the importance of creating a strong and distinctive brand identity and voice.
