Drake alumna Kaylen Jelinske, a fashion expert at Amazon, will speak about Amazon, its culture, and tips for applying for a job with the company on Wednesday, April 4, at 7 p.m. in Meredith Hall, Room 104. She will also discuss her career path, including her current role as leader of a team of 60 stylists, programmers, and data scientists working on the Echo Look—Amazon’s personal styling assistant—to examine how technology is modernizing fashion. The Echo Look uses a hands-free camera optimized to capture your outfits that, with its dedicated app, allows users to see themselves from every angle and build their personal lookbook. Jelinske’s team is building algorithms and using machine learning to help create an all-digital stylist that will help users look their best. Jelinske graduated from Drake in 2012 with degrees in graphic design and magazines.
