About Me

Hi everyone! 

My name is Erin Schaut and I’m currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Textiles & Fashion Design. Throughout my time at UW I have been lucky enough to have design experience outside of the classroom. Last summer I was an intern at Kohl’s for the Men’s Active Design Team. This opportunity allowed me to learn design in a corporate setting which helped me evolve into a well-rounded designer. 

This past November my friend and I launched EVIE Jewelry. EVIE is an 18K gold plated jewelry collection that is designed to last. This collection took extensive research, problem-solving, and dedication to come to life. I continue to learn more every day about running a business and designing jewelry. It has been worth every hour spent on building this brand to watch your ideas and creations come to life. 

I’m excited to continue my growth as a designer while as I continue working on my senior thesis this academic year. I am eagerly looking to pursue a role as a full-time designer upon graduation in May of 2021.
