Arribeno shares how she navigates owning her title and what's next for Nubia Natalie.
Natalie Arribeno is a merchandising planner at The Walt Disney Company, an adjunct professor at California State University, but as of recently the title she’s owning the most is that of Founder of Nubia Natalie.
“It was actually my mom who always pushed me towards fashion,” shares Arribeno. “She noticed something in me, that I myself wasn't awakened to yet. She’s the one who first pointed out, how much I lit up when looking through textiles, colorful clothes, merchandise, and other raw materials.
When I started to talk more openly about my business, I noticed a lot of people around me, starting to cheer on, my work. I received a lot of positive feedback and some great earned media. It was then that I made the conscious decision to update my LinkedIn profile and own my new venture in a big way. I took it even further by reducing my full time schedule at TWDC.
Because fashion is one of the top polluters globally, I wanted to ensure that all of my products are made with the least amount of harm to the environment. Also, since I work with indigenous communities, whose values are rooted in environmental preservation, actively protecting mother nature is another way our company shows solidarity with our artisan partners. Lastly, everything is cut and sewn in my home city of Los Angeles, where I visit with the manufacturers regularly.
