Juniper

Hi. I'm Juniper Rakhman Gerardi, a designer, and creative from New York. Sustainability lies at the heart of my work, where I meticulously craft unique pieces that challenge the gender norms of clothing and discover new ways to minimize textile waste.

I’m a recent graduate (Class of ‘24) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University through the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program. During my time at university, I designed my own educational path, blending fine arts, fashion design, graphic design, costume production (MFA), UX design, media/journalism, and fashion marketing into a comprehensive curriculum.

In addition to being a designer, I’m also an upcycler, jewelry maker, musician, and polyglot. My designs frequently incorporate elements of fashion history, my travels, and my love of the outdoors. At my core, I’m a creative with a deep appreciation for pattern, print, and bold silhouettes, as well as a reverence for protecting our planet, centering sustainability in everything I do.
