Slumber Search 2022-2023 Disrupt $1,000 Scholarship Winner

Congratulations Mireya Ramirez of the Georgia Institute of Technology!

Mireya's video entry for the 2022-2023 Slumber Search Disrupt $1,000 Scholarship focuses on disrupting the fashion industry by creating a unique clothing brand that uses excess material and sustainably durable manufacturing techniques for its products. By focusing on her environmentally minded target market, she excellently showcases her clothing brand's go-to-market strategy with online sales and local pop-up boutiques, while also discussing the more technical aspects of creating a more sustainable fashion company.

More About Mireya and Her Winning Video

Mireya's video has a tremendous spirit of entrepeneurship. With a tone that was similar to that of a venture capital pitch, her impassioned vision was clear and well thought-through. Making the most out of the 5 minute prompt, she really conveyed her research and strategic skill with detail, while also wrapping everything up in a high level view. As she told us, with the fashion industry being as wasteful as it is, her passion for sustainability inspired her to create this idea and she hopes to pursue it in the future.

With a passion for entrepeneurial endeavors, Mireya already has a small earring business, @mydayearrings on Insta, and works on campus as an area council coordinator.

On her plans at Georgia Tech and beyond, she wrote:

I am graduating in May 2027 with a double degree in Environmental Science and Business Administration and plan to go on to attain my master's in environmental science focusing on sustainability and environmental policy. In the future, I plan to start my own sustainable fashion company and hopefully help turn down the waste production of the textile and fashion industry.

We're very excited for her vision to actualize in the future.

We wish Mireya all the best in her future studies and endeavors. Congratulations, Mireya!
