Sophia’s Bio:

My name is Sophia Naz Shah and I left my full time job in the NY garment district to become a Remote Apparel Designer … During the pandemic. I am passionate about helping clients through the process of getting their design ideas all the way through to a finished product. Building my business has given me the freedom to work with very different types of wearable innovations and listen to the unique stories that hind those endeavors. The 8 years of working my way up the corporate ladder in the fashion industry gave me the insight, tools and really the motivation I needed to become a fashion entrepreneur and pursue a way to do the work I love and create my own schedule and freedom to travel (once that can happen again)!
