Before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in fashion, she was a sculptor and performing artist. Her interest in fashion derives from how different materials in art interact with the human body. At Otis College of Art and Design, she learned technical skills including illustrating, sewing, patternmaking, creating techpacks, and more. She spent the summer of 2023 interning with Décor Global Inc. as a trend analyst and an assistant designer. Through her experience as a student and in the workforce, Carly discovered that she truly values what a brand stands for. She values the ethos of a brand, its commitment to a sustainable future, and its impact on the communities it serves. Learning about sustainability and investing in social causes has been the most rewarding part of her college education and is something she intends to bring with her into the workforce.</exhibitor_bio><exhibitor_bio_image><img src="/about/our-work/annual-exhibition/2024/carly-jarocki/images/carly-j-senior-photo-square-350.webp" alt="Carly Jarocki"/></exhibitor_bio_image><exhibitor_thumb_image><img src="/about/our-work/annual-exhibition/2024/carly-jarocki/images/img_3627-300.webp" alt="Carly Jarocki"/></exhibitor_thumb_image></item>
