About
Cynthyah Beamon is a Detroit native. She graduated from International Academy of Design and Technology-Detroit with a Bachelors of Arts in Fashion Designs in 2010. She also attended Wayne State University in which she majored in Fashion Design and Merchandising but decided to take some time off from her studies before transferring to IADT-Detroit. While attending Wayne State, she had the privilege to have a paid internship as assistant seamstress to the head of costume design for the play Spunk which opened at the Attic Theater in Detroit. The production was supervised by Professor Jane Hooper of Wayne State University’s Fashion Design Department.
During her time off from WSU she was a freelance designer for almost 6 years. She realized that there was something missing from her career. She worked various retail jobs along with freelance work before returning to International Academy of Design and Technology to complete her degree.
