I Thought I Was Teaching Fashion Design. Then I Realized Something Bigger!

Just when I thought I Thought I Was Teaching Fashion Design, I Realized Something Much Bigger. ~ What if the work you do isn't the most important thing you actually give to the world? ~ For most of my life, I thought I was teaching people how to become fashion designers. I taught the skills, the techniques, the creative process, and everything that goes into building a career in fashion. ~ But somewhere along the way, I began asking myself a different question: What do I actually get paid for? ~ Inspired by a fascinating insight from music producer Rick Rubin, I started looking at my own life differently. From leaving Italy at 13 and discovering the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), to becoming a fashion designer, educator, and mentor, I began to recognize a deeper connection running through my journey. ~Maybe my real work isn't simply teaching fashion design. Maybe it's helping people discover what they're capable of. In this video, I explore purpose, creativity, the transformation we create for others, and what it means to become a Future Designer. Because sometimes, discovering your purpose isn't about finding something new. It's about recognizing the meaning that's been there all along. And maybe your future is about more than the job you do. Maybe it's about what you make possible. ~ Explore my work: ~Fashion Premier Academy: https://fashion-premier-academy.teachable.com ~Become a Fashion Designer: https://studio.com/ninovia ~Design Your Future—Be a Future De
