Classroom to Career.
A design mentorship program bridging the gap between education and industry for the next generation of creatives.
Hello!
My name is Fanny Ho.
Over the past 18 years, I’ve navigated the complexity of being a woman in a male-dominated footwear industry. It takes courage to be the only woman on a performance footwear design team and resilience to be the only person of color in a room. My lived experiences have given me a real gift: a deep sense of empathy for diversity that shapes the way I show up as an innovator every day.
Over the next 18 years, I’m here to be a catalyst for change and use my creative position to bring a different perspective to the table. I’m driven by a vision of a more diverse industry and ready to lead the change I want to see.

"I had the pleasure of getting connected with Fanny as a mentor. Being a new professional in the design world, knowing what to do to get my dream job and how best to do it is a real challenge. Fanny asked so many great questions, determining what kind of guidance I needed. It is clear her skillset is vast, providing tips across many levels. She helped not only to improve my portfolio but empowering my value as a designer. Her genuine care shines through adding greater momentum to my professional development. It's rare to find a seasoned professional so willing to dedicate themselves to the success of those following in their footsteps. For that I have only the most gratitude and respect."
