Meet Diana Travis

Today we’d like to introduce you to Diana Travis. They and their team shared their story with us below:

As the creative behind outofoffice jewelry, Diana Travis, a Korean American LA native, strides to blend fashion, an eco-friendly ethos, and technology within the realm of the fashion industry.

Her journey began with a professional background in digital design and branding. Over the years, she had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed clients such as BMW, Shiseido, and Burberry across the US, Germany, and the UK. These experiences not only honed her creative skills but also kindled a passion for innovative creativity in the fashion industry.

As a Los Angeles native, she was deeply immersed in the vibrant music scene, the rich hip-hop culture, and the ever-evolving fashion landscape of New York City. These multifaceted cultural experiences molded her outlook and nurtured a deep-seated reverence for personal expression.

Diana’s journey with outofoffice is a testament to her passion for innovation. The brand was born from a desire to offer a personalized shopping experience, leveraging technology to bridge the gap between the tactile joy of trying on jewelry and the convenience of online shopping. With a deep commitment to sustainability, every piece from outofoffice not only makes a fashion statement but also stands as a symbol of Diana’s dedication to a greener planet.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Every entrepreneur faces hurdles, and Diana’s path with outofoffice has been no exception. A significant challenge has been the commitment to sustainability. While recycled materials and eco-friendly practices are kinder to the planet, they often come with a heftier price tag. Balancing the costs of sustainable materials with the desire to offer affordable luxury to her customers has been a delicate dance.

Furthermore, in a world where technology evolves rapidly, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Diana and her team continuously explore ways to harness technology, such as AR, to enhance the customer experience. The goal? To provide a virtual “try-on” experience that rivals the real thing, allowing customers to feel confident in their online purchases. Artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) are now integral parts of her business strategy, allowing her to stay lean and efficient.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Unlike traditional mentorship, Diana’s journey has been enriched by exposure to industry titans, creative masterminds, and a diverse array of clients. With her characteristic no-nonsense attitude, she has seized every opportunity to learn, inquire, and grow.
