Hi, I’m Eve Ellis, a Washington, D.C. native and Spelman College alumna passionate about storytelling through fashion, branding, and art direction. After studying Fashion Design & Merchandising in Milan, I fell in love with the city’s creative energy and global approach to design—an experience that shaped my decision to continue my education abroad.

I’ve been accepted to The American University of Paris to pursue my master’s degree in Fashion Branding & Communication. While this is a FAFSA-eligible institution, like many students right now, I’m trying to avoid taking on additional student loan debt in today’s economy.

To secure my place in the program, I need to make an initial tuition payment of at least $5,000 toward the total $21,000 cost. I’m asking for support from my community to help make this next step possible.

Every donation—big or small—brings me closer to continuing my journey in fashion storytelling on a global stage. Thank you for believing in me and investing in my future.
