Jordan Wilkins
My name is Jordan Wilkins, I graduated from Baylor University with a B.S. in Apparel Design and Product Development accompanied by a minor in Business Administration. Currently working as the Assistant Designer at John Mark under Sharon Young Inc.
About My Position: John Mark is an eclectic clothing brand I am so lucky to be apart of. Their unique process of development has helped strengthen my skillset and fall in love with the fashion industry all over again. John Mark creates all of their samples in house and I get to be physically involved in each sample we make. Aside from designing the garments I am also hand drafting patterns and preparing samples for our in house seamstresses on a daily basis. My responsibilities include managing the collections progress and communicating necessary adjustments to the collection with the team!
About Me:I first found a passion for clothing design during my 14 year competitive figure skating career. At each competition I would wear a custom designed skating costume, by the age of 8 I began designing the costumes myself, and by the time I was 9 my grandmother took me under her wing to teach me everything she knew about sewing. My love for design grew stronger over the years as I began visiting our local fabric store to hand select every piece of my skating costumes. When it was time to select my college major the choice was obvious, I would follow my heart and design clothing that I could wear off the ice. Since then I have created my own designs, modified beautiful pieces from my mother to match current style trends, and carefully crafted a closet full of custom pieces. I am passionate about proper clothing construction, fabric quality, and creating pieces that can be worn by the next generation.
