ABOUT ME
MY STORYLeyla O’Lenic has taken her expertise in textiles to the world of jewelry design in New York City.
Currently, I am a jewelry and accessories designer at Mignonne Gavigan in New York, NY.
My creative and inquisitive mind led me to pursue a BFA Degree in Fabric Design at the University of Georgia. After graduating in the midst of COVID, I began pursuing further education at New York University in fine arts, luxury marketing, and museum studies. I am studying part time to gain more knowledge from experts within the Stern Business School as well as fine artists and historians within the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies.
