Jolene Giesige
Hello, my name is Jolene, I am a recent fashion design and merchandising graduate with a strong interest in how storytelling, branding, and digital strategy shape consumer perception. While completing dual bachelor’s degrees at Kent State University, I have gained experience in product development, retail, and fashion forecasting through my time at Kiki de Montparnasse, Ulta Beauty, Levi Strauss & Co., and Kay Jewelers. In these positions I was taught how visual communication and customer psychology translate into real results.
My work is rooted in fashion design and visual storytelling, with a focus on translating concepts into form. I have experience in design development, digital illustration, silhouette exploration, print and visual composition, and an understanding of how materials and construction influence mood and identity. I am passionate about creating cohesive, story-driven fashion narratives that feel intentional, expressive, and consumer-aware. I hope to bring my skill set to creative and fashion-focused agencies.
