Knicole is a fashion designer with a BFA in Fashion, magna cum laude, from the Savannah College of Art and Design (“SCAD”). She was raised in Tarboro, NC and started sewing when she was about 8 years old when her aunt began to give her lessons. She knew even prior to starting to learn to sew that she would some day have a career in fashion.
She spent countless hours on the road traveling for lessons or camps and workshops growing up and vowed to create an academy in eastern NC one day to provide access to resources and training that was and still is largely absent in this area.
Knicole is a product of the Edgecombe County Public Schools, the Nash County Public Schools, private schools in Rocky Mount and Greenville as
well as homeschool and hopes to reach creatives from all of these educational institutions as well as others throughout the state of North Carolina.
