Meet FIDM Merchandise Product Development Student and Social Ambassador Haley McMurphy

Name: Haley McMurphy

Hometown: Modesto, CA

FIDM Campus: San Francisco

Describe your style: Eclectic and laid-back. I love one-of-a-kind pieces found in secondhand shops and vintage finds.

What are you currently listening to? Absolutely every genre! Some of my favorite artists are Hozier, FKA Twigs, Sublime, Lana Del Rey, and Radiohead.

What are your favorite brands? Some of my favorite brands are Dr. Martens, Free People, Brandy Melville, Urban Outfitters, and Vans.

Who is an icon that inspires you? Kylie Jenner inspires me. 

Where is your favorite place to eat in your city? My favorite place to eat in my hometown is Greens Table. Everything is "farm-to-fork" which means it's all directly from local farms. Plus they make the most amazing caprese sandwich.

What is your dream job? My dream job would be designing for my own brand, being able to be creative and make amazing things.

What advice would you give to FIDM Students? I would advise FIDM students to never let themselves slack off in school. If you go to FIDM it's because you're pursuing your passion, and you don't want to fall behind in that.

What is your current city's best kept secret? My city's best kept secrets are the little hole-in-the-wall coffee shops that not everyone knows about. The best mocha frappe I've ever had is from a coffee shop that only the locals can find.

Describe your FIDM experience in 3 words: Learning. Adventures. Homework.

Fill in the blank: You know you went to FIDM when... Your insane amount of homework doesn't really bother you because it's (usually) fun to do anyways.
