Evelyn Rossol is the super productive and highly energized Design Production Manager at Unbox the Dress. With more than 15 years of sewing experience, she is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Fashion Industry from Kent State University, one of the most highly rated Fashion Schools in the country.
Evelyn's graduate school thesis focuses on sustainability practices within the garment industry, a mission that aligns with the principles of Unbox the Dress, pioneering wedding dress redesign. (After all, no wedding dress deserves to end up in a landfill!)
When she was younger Evelyn always knew she wanted to make a difference. She decided to pursue fashion as a career after being inspired by her sewing teacher of 9 years. "Her sewing studio was a home away from home for me."
Evelyn is responsible for making sure each customer's dress moves through our wedding dress redesign process with the white glove treatment it deserves!
