TEJAL THURNAUER
Fashion Marketing Student
About Me
Hi! My name's Tejal and I'm a senior fashion marketing and management student at SCAD. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for all things creative. This drive led me to Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, where I discovered a newfound passion for marketing as well as fashion. I love coming up with creative concepts, whether it be a new social media marketing campaign for a small startup, or a visual merchandising display for an established brand.
I excel in roles that allow me to collaborate with others, whether it be in a team based or customer-relations setting. I have had a variety of experiences with multiple different roles in marketing and fashion, from my time as an intern and merchandiser at AmericasMart to my time as a social media assistant with SalonCentric/L’Oreal. Above all, I am hard-working, self- motivated, and creative. These qualities drive me in every aspect of my life, including my career.
