About
Phoebe began experimenting with fashion at the age of four when her grandmother taught her how to first use a sewing machine. Since then, her love for clothes and design has grown exponentially. Today, in addition to studying pure math and political science at Brown University, she pursues fashion design through access to Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) courses and Fashion@Brown’s Design Team.
