New NAFASI Interns & Pizza!

Clientele is growing and NAFASI is keeping up by welcoming two interns to the team, Rachel Hughes and Sydney Hodge. We all had so much fun getting to know each other over fabrics, candles and pizza last night because why not fabrics, candles, and pizza?! I hope you’re as excited as I am to welcome Rachel, the Ohioan, marketing expert and Sydney, the Business student and former fashion retail expert, to NAFASI. We got to know each other last night and now we want you guys to know a little bit about us!

Let Rachel help you get to know Sydney, the fashionista from VA...

RH: What bumper sticker do you secretly want to own?

SH: I think I saw one once that said “I express my personality through bumper stickers” (very cheeky)

RH: If you didn’t live in your current city, where would you live?

SH: I really would like to live in Hawaii one day, or Thailand.

RH:  You’re at the movies - popcorn or candy?

SH: Popcorn - I sneak my own drinks and candy in with my purse ;)
RH:  Are you an early bird or night owl?

SH: Night owl

RH: Beach or mountains?
SH: I’ve spent more time on the beach and love it, but I want to explore mountains as well!

RH: Batman or Superman?

SH: Batman

RH: How would you describe your fashion sense?
SH: It changes often, but I’ve always been attracted to modern silhouettes, black, white, and earth tones, and boho and urban elements.  When I worked at Urban Outfitters it was fun dressing up everyday, now that I’m a student again I wear mainly sweats, leggings, and t-shirts though (anything comfortable).   

....Now let Sydney help you get to know Rachel, the new NAFASI marketing guru

SH: If you were stranded on an island what is one essential you would want to have with you?
RH: I’m pretty practical so I would have to say vaseline. I can’t stand when my lips are chapped!

SH: If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

RH: Can’t resist the za!

SH: What is one of your guilty pleasure TV shows? (and why?)

RH: I love Three's Company and Murder She Wrote even though they are so goofy and corny. I’ve been watching them since I was in grade school, so they are tied to a lot of memories.

SH: If you had a superpower what would it be?

RH: I wish I could read anything and remember it. I have the worst memory, but other than that I like my human self :)

SH: Where is your ideal vacation?

RH: This is the hardest question because I love to travel! I wish I could take a few months to travel the world but if I had to pick one place I would choose southern Italy. I also want to see the Northern Lights.

SH: What was your favorite childhood game?

RH: My sister and I made up most of the games we played. We had a playhouse in our backyard, which we only used to play drive thru. It had real windows, so we pretend one was the “first” window and one was the “second”. One of us would be the cashier and the other would place orders.

SH: What is your favorite summer activity?

RH: Since I’m from Ohio you wouldn’t think I would gravitate towards the water, but I’m a sailor's daughter. Take me to a beach, lake or bay and you’ll have one happy girl.

We are so excited to begin our NAFASI journey together. We have a lot of fun DIY projects, decorating stories and design tips we want to share with you. We are wrapping up some big projects and cannot wait to reveal them. Check in with us right here every Wednesday for a new blog post by Teri, Rachel and Sydney.
