Background

About Ashley Wheat

I am deeply impassioned by clothing in all of its uses and contexts. I have experience as a custom designer, stylist, creative director, fashion photographer and vintage clothing curator. I’ve excelled in apparel sales at both the retail and wholesale level, and have strong team leadership and communication skills. I have extensive knowledge of both the wholesale merchandising and buying processes, and come from a sales background. Identifying consumer purchasing patterns and customer needs through demographic and social analysis has allowed me to build a deeper connection between fashion business owners and their customers. I am open to all costume design roles in film, music and television production. I’m also interested in the production of textile and apparel products on all levels, and have industrial sewing machine operation experience. I believe one of the greatest pleasures life can bring is discovering new roles and uses for a garment within its own unique socio-cultural context.
