Fashion Marketing and Management

As a Fashion Marketing and Management student, with RFi, I am excited to support my family heritage and rethink how creative industries approach supply chain and consumer connection. Growing up in Queens, New York, I have seen firsthand how the lack of green resources marginalizes communities, which has made me a long-term advocate for the preservation of green space.

Hi! My name is Merritt, and I’m a Furniture Design student at SCAD. RFI changed the way I see design. To be exposed to such a green environment with people passionate about helping the community and the planet was so exciting. RFI is actively changing the world through syntropic agroforestry and bamboo construction, and it was incredible to see firsthand.
