During the summer after graduating highschool in 2008, the idea of creating a luxury fashion brand started its fruition and developed into a globally recognized company, despite the odds of a highly competitive industry with no prior experience or education in the space.I've co-founded Profound™, where each development of the business and brand has been influenced by the headstrong perseverance of myself and my founding team, my two cousins. As our growth became consistent, my entrepreneurial spirit enabled me to fight against traditional immigrant family values, deciding to drop out of college in 2011 in pursuit to further establish the brand and business. Today, Profound™ stands as a profitable company in multi-million dollar revenue which we still maintain leadership & complete ownership of without outside investment partners. Admired A-list celebrities such as Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Lil Uzi Vert to name a few have been photographed while wearing the brand. Leading fashion publications such as Vogue, GQ, Harpar's Bazaar, Complex, Elle, Hypebeast and Highsnobiety have covered the brand's releases. The brand is stocked in noteworthy retail stores like Saks Fifth Ave, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Harvey Nichols, Revolve, Selfridges and Luisaviaroma alongside elite-class brand lists.My passion continues to exist in the creative spaces, specifically mixed with commerce. I enjoy topics & dialogues on entrepreneurship & have been a guest speaker for various events inside of my professional interests. I've been personally featured and mentioned on publications such as Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Buzzfeed, Time, Billboard, and more. At my core, I am a designer who has developed strong intelligence and skills in BTB & BTC sales and marketing which allowed unique abilities.I’ve worked on alternative projects which include festival merch for Rolling Loud, and have repeatedly created best sellers and staples for their merch collections. Another recent project involved creating a niche faith-based fashion brand and e-com business where I’ve successfully built value and sold the company within 2 years time. For physical interaction experiences, I’ve founded @private.entry where we curate parties at high-level name venues like Soho House, SLS, and 1OAK. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy valuable time with my wife, family and friends. IG: @nabilzaidi
