I didn\u2019t find one job after graduating, I found three. I was working over 70 hours a week and wasn\u2019t going anywhere with my career. It wasn\u2019t until nine months ago that I decided to chase my dreams and start a fashion brand: one that will help bring back the values that have been long lost over the years and bring back \u2018American Made\u2019 clothing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4171\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4171\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group.jpg\" alt=\"leopardet-group\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-group-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a>Being an entrepreneur in the fashion world is not an easy task, but I have loved every single moment of it. I moved to Los Angeles four months ago from San Diego to grow the company, taking all the necessary risks. While in L.A., I discovered Kickstarter and thought it would be a great platform to share my vision of my clothing brand, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/leopardet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">LEOPARDET<\/a><\/strong>. I brought on board our summer intern <strong>Alana Eastling<\/strong> (B.A. communications \u201916) and fellow panther <strong>Justin Rypma<\/strong> (BFA film production \u201918) to help make this campaign a reality. Justin brought on board his crew and together we worked on putting together the Kickstarter campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/770269732\/the-leap-by-leopardet-fashioning-the-american-drea\/posts\/1437564\">LEOPARDET: Bringing Back \u2018American Made\u2019 Fashion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We worked very hard to make the campaign a success. It was my first time working in production and we didn\u2019t have a lot of resources. But we were able to come together as a team and put all of our heart and efforts in the project. The campaign has been running since November 4 and today marks the 36<sup>th<\/sup> day. <strong>We are 24 hours away from the finish line and $2,000 shy.<\/strong> With Kickstarter being an all or nothing kind of thing, we have to keep pushing till the last second to meet the goal and keep the brand alive. I believe in LEOPARDET and know that we can make an impact in the clothing industry. This is our first jab at it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/770269732\/the-leap-by-leopardet-fashioning-the-american-drea\/posts\/1437564\" target=\"_blank\">Check out our Kickstarter to\u00a0see the campaign and watch our video\u00a0\u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4172\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4172\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"leopardet-headshot\" width=\"115\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot.jpg 1092w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/alumni\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/85\/2015\/12\/leopardet-headshot-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 115px) 100vw, 115px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ari Jogiel &#8217;12<br \/>\n<\/strong>Founder, CEO, and fashion designer at LEOPARDET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many of us, finding jobs that we like and pay well can be a bit of a challenge after [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":297,"featured_media":4169,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[139,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni-guest-post","category-career"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
