Francisca works in the Fashion sector leading Y.A.N.G. Francisca is a sustainable fashion designer leading educational programs to teach people how to recycle their clothes. The company’s main product is its workshops. The company’s customers are individuals who are interested in fashion. Past customers include doctors, engineers, designers, and students. The company’s product is unique because there are only a few people in the world teaching about upcycling fashion, and no organization is teaching zero-waste pattern-cutting techniques related to upcycling. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Francisca’s top business challenge is Law and Policy.
