She is extremely motivated, enthusiastically tackling new challenges: at eighteen, she set records as a sales representative and became branch manager of her own office at nineteen.

She was Student Government Vice President and Diversity Representative at Parsons Paris. Inspired by her Native American heritage and desire to promote inclusivity, Aubrey designs beyond gender constraints and advocates for sustainable practices.

Thesis Title: Lumberton 9>
As a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, Aubrey Briggs has always been inspired by her heritage. However, Native American culture has rarely been represented through a non-colonial lens in the fashion industry. In Briggs’ collection, contemporary Native American culture is merged with American pop culture through the lens of streetwear. By combining classic streetwear silhouettes with elements of Native regalia and heritage, Briggs’s collection enables the wearer to feel connected to Native culture in a contemporary way.
