Hi —
I'm Paris Mendones.

I'm a junior at the Savannah College of Art and Design pursuing a B.F.A. in the Business of Beauty & Fragrance with a minor in Business Management & Entrepreneurship.

I'm drawn to the marketing and product development side of beauty: the strategy behind a launch, the consumer it's built for, and the way a brand earns a place in someone's day. The projects that have pulled me in the most sit at the intersection of three things: brand strategy, consumer research, and product development. Three lenses on the same question. How do beauty brands build something people actually want to come back to?

My work has spanned global market expansion, prestige competitive analysis, and whitespace product development for an established fashion brand. Different scopes, same instinct. Start with the consumer, then build everything else around her.

When I'm not in class, I compete on SCAD's Women's Bowling Team and serve on its leadership council. Competing since childhood has taught me the same things that drive my work in beauty: discipline, attention to detail, and showing up consistently. It's the mindset I bring to every project.

I'm open to internships, projects, and conversations at indie houses, legacy brands, and everywhere in between. If you're building something in beauty, fragrance, or luxury and you want another set of eyes, I'd love to hear about it.
