Vanessa Farrow
Teaching Experience
I earned a B.S. in Textiles and Apparel: Apparel Design from The University of Texas at Austin, along with a Business Foundations certificate in 2007. Upon graduation, I completed an internship with Sikara & Co. Jewelry in downtown Austin, where I ultimately became the company’s first employee. I have represented the brand at numerous trade shows, worked with international manufacturers, and acquired first-hand knowledge of what goes into running a retail store. I oversaw wholesale and operations of Sikara & Co for 13 years, and I still help the brand with inventory and ordering decisions. In 2017, I also started my own jewelry line called 805jewels. In addition, I became an Area Manager at Amazon in 2020, overseeing as many as 160 associates at once and helping in both the inbound inventory department and the outbound shipping department.
