Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica Qian
Hi Jessica, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
From a young age, I developed a deep passion for music and film. I also loved creating my own clothing combinations, aiming to express my unique style through fashion. In high school, I taught myself photography to capture the world as I saw it and shared my photos on social media.
When I went to college, I chose to major in merchandise marketing. During my university years, I met many friends in the fashion and music industries. I began working for them on small projects, gradually building my experience. By leveraging my strengths in these projects, I became more adept and confident in my professional path. Today, I continue to grow and thrive in my career, doing what I love.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I believe my career journey has been relatively smooth. Of course, I think everyone encounters various challenges along the way, both big and small. However, when I look back after a few years, I see that each obstacle was actually a part of my growth. So, believing in oneself is incredibly important. Every challenge is a stepping stone to becoming better and stronger.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
