Hi! My name is Julia Tiseo. I am currently a Sophomore at the State University of New York at Oneonta majoring in Fashion and Textiles with a concentration in Merchandising. I am also enrolled in my school’s Visiting Scholars program. This program allows me to spend my fourth year at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City; where I strive to obtain an Associates degree in Fabric Styling. I am a creative thinker with strong communication and leadership skills, and a strong background in social media usage. I believe that these traits will set me apart from others in the workforce. I grew up in a family of five on Long Island, New York; and being the eldest and only daughter, my family LOVED to dress me up. This sparked an intense interest in fashion from a young age. I liked to dress myself with expression of my current mood, and grew a love for styling. I have always felt that the right style can make anyone feel beautiful in their skin. My dream is to work as an Editorial Stylist in New York City. And as you will see, my love for art, photography, clothing, and self expression has helped me to realize this. Helping people to love themselves has always been a passion of mine, and I would like to spend my life using my artistic ability to make someone’s day a little brighter.
During Covid 19, I got my first job in retail. Considering the times, there were a lot of obvious restrictions to the position. However, I believe my retail and people skills strengthened tremendously throughout this time. As a Sales Associate at Old Navy, I would run the fitting rooms, size and organize merchandise throughout the store, work the cash register / tend to the front of the store, answer the phones, and package mobile orders. I gained a strong knowledge of our merchandise, assisted customers with any help that they needed, and dealt with problems as they came along.
In the Summer of 2023, I interned at Swimwear Anywhere INC in Farmingdale, NY. I enhanced my teamwork and communication skills by helping the marketing team develop new social media advertisements for their brand, steamed and sized clothing, and shadowed one of the companies top graphic designers. This experience has also allowed me to develop further knowledge in makeup and hair artistry, graphic design, styling, and photography as I ended the day assisting with a Plus Sized photoshoot.
