Bio
Molly is graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a degree in Design and Visual Communication, complemented by experience in photography and marketing. She grew up in a multicultural household as the daughter of two art teachers in the middle of the woods. Molly credits her upbringing in fostering her passion for art and design, and her dive into freelance and formal endeavors at an early age. Her varied experience has afforded her the opportunity to commission projects for clients including Boeing, singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney, and multiple universities throughout the country. Molly’s ambitions place a particular emphasis on sustainability, which is exemplified not only in her craft but the vintage clothing store she operates. Through her marketplace, she channels her self driven personality to master social media analytics and marketing techniques. Molly’s small business provides her an outlet to develop her prowess in branding and photography, which furthers her abilities as a proficient and dedicated marketer. Upon her graduation, Molly hopes to work in design and social media in Chicago.

Description
Hare & Bone is a sustainable, pre-owned vintage clothing brand that aims to reduce textile waste by tackling fast fashion. This message is conveyed to audiences primarily through the internet and social media with photography and writing. We also educate women on the styling, cleaning, and repairing of pre-owned clothing, so they too can reduce their carbon footprint and be a part of the next generation of fashion.
Mission
Our mission is to be the change that the fashion world needs, by showing women how to combine sustainable and pre-owned clothing with modern trends. We hope to increase our audience’s confidence in the environment and themselves.
Vision
Our vision is to foster a waste-free and stylish platform that women can take onto the streets to express their unique styles.
