Episode 60: Jillian Clark
“I knew I had to do something bigger than myself. I had to contribute. That’s when I learned the global effects of the fashion industry.
”
So many of us have been pivoting our businesses since the start of the covid19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic Jillian’s business was upcycled apparel. Her business Roboro6 took in scrap materials from film sets, theaters, local factories and more to create brand new beautiful items. As she saw the impact of the pandemic spreading around the world, she pivoted to creating facemasks and hasn’t taken a day off yet. On this episode we discuss her unique facemask business model that includes sponsoring masks for the medical community, how her past life of dance and theater brought her to LA, how learning more about the waste in film, tv, and fashion birthed her current business and how now more than ever we all need to be more mindful of what we’re consuming, spending and wasting.
