Leslie Harrington, CEO The Color Association of America

"Before arriving in Jasmine’s classroom, I never imagined one class could so drastically change my mentality about my own work. I came knowing nothing about accessories or branding and left with a complete first collection and brand that continues to grow now. She taught me how to channel my creativity and ambition into something tangible. Her insightful guidance comes directly from the work she is doing right now, so I felt everything I was learning was relevant. I feel like I was given a tool kit for the industry I wanted to enter, and she had prepared me for launching and managing a brand on my own. I can't imagine having done it without her."
