Joe Ando-Hirsh is a Brooklyn-based fashion designer, content creator, and actor. After transferring through five colleges and changing his major several times, Ando-Hirsh ended up at FIT and has since opened a design studio where he makes custom looks and dresses.
During college, he acted on TV shows like The Walking Dead while pursuing a women’s ready-to-wear degree. Following his graduation during the 2020 pandemic, he began sewing garments out of his parent’s garage and sharing his process on social media due to the lack of opportunity in the fashion industry. As a result, Ando-Hirsh unintentionally developed a platform on social media with the goal of spreading enthusiasm for fashion design. He’s dressed many personalities for events ranging from red carpets to concert performances to the Democratic National Convention. By combining his sense of humor and design skills on social media, Ando-Hirsh strives to communicate that fashion design is something anyone can get involved in.
