Jia Yee ( jay–ee )
Hi!
My name is Jia Yee ( she / her ), and I’m a Brooklyn-based production manager and tattooer.
I studied Fashion Design in college, a decision sparked by a childhood of being dressed identically to my twin sister, and quickly found myself drawn to working with sustainable, mission-driven, and women-run clothing brands.
I spent the bulk of my career in the apparel industry growing alongside Kordal Studio as the Director of Production and Design where, as a lean team of two, I learned the ins and outs of running a small business. I’ve worked on projects everywhere from owning the design and production of seasonal collections, to opening and running a brick-and-mortar store, to analyzing financial data and utilizing those insights to execute strategies for product development, site merchandising, and marketing–and all the nitty gritty things in between.
I am also a self-taught handpoke tattooer, a skill I taught myself in the throes of 2020, and have grown to cherish every session and every person who chooses to put my art on their body.
