About Me.
Hi! I’m Olivia Bobadilla, a recent graduate from New York University with a degree in Consumerism and Sustainability in Fashion and Art with a minor in Fashion Studies. My concentration explored the intersection of environmental studies, marketing and consumerism, and a blend of art and fashion history. I have also made a commitment in my time at NYU to properly understand industry sustainability standards and terms.
Professionally, I've worked as a Sales Associate at Gabriela Ceballos for three years, where I use styling and creative direction to build jewelry customers love and create customer relationships. I've recieved over 75 positive Google reviews across store locations, and was featured in a promotional NBC Online interview for the brand. Last New York Fashion Week I interned for The Bridge Showroom as a Wholesale Assistant. Previously I I interned at Isaboko, where I was given the freedom to manage creative work, assist in sewing projects, and complete marketing tasks like creating linesheets. I also recently interned at FABSCRAP where I closely studied textile makeup and pricing, assisted in media publications, and recorded data on client relationships.
I spent the academic year of 2024-2025 in Madrid, Spain where I broadened my global perspective and strengthened my comprehension of EU fashion regulations and norms. At the end of my time abroad, I was able to attend the Textile Recycling Expo in Brussels, which was particularly influential to my research in textiles going forward and the pursuit of my internship the following Fall at FABSCRAP. Spain also allowed me the opportunity to research traditional art; I attended the Prado every week in school for a class, and to familiarize myself with the local street style.
To strengthen my industry knowledge, I've completed the LVMH online certificate program studying Creation & Branding, Operations & Supply Chain. I have also completed a LinkedIn Learning Excel course.
For additional NYU engagements, I have previously worked as a writer and stylist for the NYU publication VisMajor, and am the Events Team Lead for NYU's sustainable fashion club, Future Fashion Group. As the Events Lead, I am responsible for distributing tasks to the events team, creating the events schedule, budgeting, booking club spaces, and communication with all partnerships. I graduated on the Dean's List with a GPA above 3.8 and received the Interdisciplinary Academic Excellence Award in Design and Fashion Studies from New York University.
I also have been a fashion designer for several of NYU’s fashion shows, where I have designed a mix of upcycled and original garments. As an artist who prioritizes sustainability, I have sourced materials for all my collections off of waste-material.
