Jaysie Yu
Sales Supervisor at DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse
Summary
There’s something about how the way art, fashion, and life mixes together that drives me crazy (in a good way.) It’s all about how things are represented whether it be a product, a store setting, or even yourself, and that is an idea that I grasp and understand quite well. I have a background and degree from UC Santa Cruz in Fine Arts and Sculpture and a love of making, building, and organizing things. With that love, I add my obsession with fashion and culture. What I can offer is a little quirky, crazy, and crafty thinking as well as merchandising and management training and experience with apparel and accessories. Currently, I lead over fifty associates under management to drive sales and conversion and with my experience and my background, I come equipped with the skills to manage a team and to also work with a team. I have an understanding of space and concept alongside the knowledge and fascination with fashion and art.
