Hi! My name is Ryan Neufeld and I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying Media and Journalism with a focus in Fashion Communication and a minor in Entrepreneurship. I’m passionate about design, storytelling, and the creative process behind fashion production. I’ve been building creative projects from a young age, starting with Ryansewcute, where I designed and sewed custom pieces and home goods, and that later led to a farmers’ market business I ran for eight years. These experiences shaped both my creative perspective and my entrepreneurial mindset. Most recently, I studied Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins in London, where I pushed my creative boundaries and learned to bring ideas to life through experimentation. At UNC, I continue to explore production through the FashionMASH program and as part of the Production Design team for Coulture Magazine, collaborating on editorial sets, layouts, and visual storytelling. I also work as a Production Manager for Gabrielle Eitienne, supporting her rebrand through a YouTube series.
