Mia Maldonado

Welcome!

Hello! My name is Mia Maldonado and I'm an LIM student studying for a Fashion Marketing Bachelor's Degree.

I was born and raised in a little island in the Caribbean otherwise known as Puerto Rico. My family moved into the big apple when I was twelve years old. Early on, I felt very inspired by fashion in NYC and instantly fell involved with it. Fashion is part of me. My dream is to make fashionable garments and pieces that speak to each individual. My body is my canvas! My canvas is painted by styling my hair, outfit, and accessories. You can say I’ve always had sequin in my eye creating a burst of pizzazz. Fashion has been something extraordinarily special to me since I was a little girl.

Career Vision

My career vision is to be involved with a company that is filled with aspirations, creativity, and having clear core values. Therefore expressing my individuality and using my learnings of fashion marketing to leverage a companies marketing strategies. All this while obtaining the skills to open up my own clothing brand.
