About

I am Nicole Haddad, an innovative Fashion Designer with 18+ years of experience building and leading a sustainable fashion brand from concept to national and international sales. Proven track record in creative direction, team leadership, campaign development, community partnerships, and mission-driven storytelling. Skilled in designing high-impact collections, collaborating with mills and factories, and executing marketing initiatives that drive revenue, brand loyalty, and social impact.
With a strong foundation in fashion design and art history gained from Drexel University and Skidmore College, I have cultivated a career focused on sustainable design practices, product management, and creative direction. I am also passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience as an adjunct professor at Drexel University and the University of Delaware.

My expertise extends beyond fashion design into sustainable sourcing, textile printing, and art directing photoshoots. I am fluent in Portuguese and Italian with proficiency in Spanish, and I bring a comprehensive skill set in Adobe creative software, Shopify, and social media platforms to all my professional endeavors.
