About
Janae is the founder, creator, and curator of threadit. She discovered at an early age she has a passion for people. This calling led her to become a Cyclone and study Apparel, Merchandising, and Design. The exceptional programming at Iowa State, like their degree specialization, state-of-the art facilities, and hands-on experiences garnished real-world opportunities for Janae. She proudly displays her Bachelor of Science degree. Go Cyclones!
In 2014, Janae traveled to Bangladesh for an internship with Motif, a fair trade company. Five years later, she was in Austria in search of sustainable wool options for her clients and her Fall/Winter 2019 fashion line. In 2020 she furthered her education with the International Image Academy to obtain certification in Color Analysis. Since then she has helped hundreds of people find their personal style, as well as the best colors for their wardrobe. Janae’s enthusiasm also led her to join numerous community groups including Main Street Cultural District Design Committee, her local Church, and intramural leagues. She teaches yoga at the Ames Parks and Recreation community center. Her passion for the arts can be found in her participation in various different local arts events, music performances, and poetry slams. |
