About Christopher Jackson

I am a graduate of Temple University, where I earned a Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, with a minor in Marketing. After graduation I began my role as a Rotational Management Program Trainee at Gap, immersing myself into the business of retail and learning the ins and outs of inventory management and merchandising firsthand. I am the founder and creative director of Chez Rien, a contemporary apparel brand that I launched in 2021. Through the brand I bring my creative vision to life with purposeful apparel pieces crafted to perfection, and meaningful marketing campaigns that reflect my point of view. I use the brand as a platform to showcase unique individuals, and build genuine community with people across the globe.
