Storyteller

Tamiko White is a fashion + media entrepreneur, author, creative brand consultant and producer. She is the CEO + founder of White Noise Showroom, a fashion + media firm.

As an experienced storyteller, Tamiko has worked with an impressive list of clients over 30 years—in front of the camera and behind the seams—to help everyone she works with build an indelible and profitable brand. Her career has included modeling, acting, TV style segment hosting, serving as an adjunct professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, global marketing, creative and sales direction, owning a multi-brand fashion showroom in NYC, and creative brand consulting. Her capabilities include storytelling, speaking, writing, marketing, merchandising, branding, creative direction and branded content production.

Adding author to her CV, Tamiko's first published book, CAREERS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY©, is an interactive glossary guide to careers in fashion. The 2024 edition lists and describes more than 150 jobs across design, technology, marketing and other areas of the industry, using selfie-style photos and QR codes linked to videos to bring these careers to life. Her widely read "Trend Statements by Tamiko White™" explore how trends influence culture and how culture dictates how people think and spend money. Her "Accessories are Punctuation™" edits highlight what's happening across the accessory industry. She has also written more than 20 e-books focused on branding and marketing strategies.

Building on the success of CAREERS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY©, Tamiko expanded the platform into CAREERS IN FASHION™ (CIF), a project-based enrichment and afterschool program for middle and high school students and a SYEP program serving youth across three NYC boroughs. For youth ages 18+, #NOWTRENDING™ has evolved into a branding course focused on creative entrepreneurship, helping emerging creatives understand branding, positioning, storytelling and how to build a business around their creative ideas. CAREERS IN FASHION™ is powered by the expansive workbooks all authored by White including the CIF: Fashion x Math© workbook, which connects real-world fashion industry practices with math, financial literacy and business skills.

Currently, Tamiko is focused on developing her portfolio of original fashion-based media, including television, media, scripted and unscripted projects and creative community education. She continues to teach, creative direct and produce while sharing her unique industry expertise as a speaker, host, mentor, writer and creative consultant. Passionate about keeping her community informed about the power of the fashion industry, Tamiko is expanding her storytelling platform with the launch of Fashion &...™—original media exploring the many ways fashion influences business, culture, sports, food, art, media and everyday life.
