My story

Greetings,

I'm Niels Sampson, a recent graduate of Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Marketing and Apparel Design Textile. My aspiration is to kickstart my career in the dynamic and innovative realm of the creative industry, driven by my deep passion for my community, culture, and the arts.

My post-graduation journey has been marked by a relentless commitment to building a robust career portfolio, all with the aim of becoming a diligent and inventive professional. The challenges posed by the pandemic during my final years in college pushed me to recognize the untapped potential of my creative abilities. Determined to make the most of my circumstances, I took the initiative to develop a fashion magazine, where I could garner firsthand experience in the intricate processes of creating, directing, and proposing Marketing Ideas.

Crucially, this endeavor forged strong connections with local businesses, enriching both my own skills and the opportunities available to fellow students during a year dominated by online classes. Since then, I've continued to collaborate with peers in areas such as trend forecasting, marketing strategies, scouting local artistic talent, and shining a spotlight on local stores, all in our collective effort to bring to life a Sustainable Fashion Magazine.

These experiences have ignited a profound desire within me to make a meaningful impact in the creative industry. I'm eagerly poised to embark on the next chapter of my journey as a passionate and innovative contributor.
