2009
Chesley Goodstein is a jewelry designer living in New York City. She writes, “It’s been a whirlwind up in here in this city that never sleeps and a place where resiliency and determination are key when you’re in the fashion industry! Of late, I’ve been busy learning the ins and outs of jewelry design and overseas product development for mass production by being a designer at renowned private label company up here called Catherine Stein. Little did I know, but jewelry design is closer to engineering than a painting. The detail, construction and computer-aided technology we use is insane!! It’s been an incredible learning experience and opportunity for me as I develop my jewelry brand on the side. I work a year in advance
as a trend forecaster and design lines based around what will be on trend the following year. We have an incredible showroom at Catherine Stein that overlooks all of 5th Avenue. I recently designed my first line for the trend ‘Tribal Luxe’ which will hit the department stores and/or chains like Express this coming fall. As for my own jewelry, I have been freelancing on the side with stylists and clients, and continue to make strides to heighten my exposure and brand image. I got scouted in May for an international music festival called Mysteryland up in Woodstock to vend my jewelry and had a great success! Another fun fact – got flown out to LA this summer by MTV for a fun and silly avatar show they’re producing – on confidentiality contract so can’t give away too many hints except to keep your eyes peeled!” Stephanie Middleton is an independent lyricist, melodist and vocalist in Nashville, using the stage name Notelle. Since 2014, Stephanie has been a featured vocalist on EDM (electronic dance music) tracks around the world. Fellow classmate, Franklin Geho, works alongside helping with creative marketing, artist management and administrative work. You can find Notelle’s music on Spotify and follow her @notellemusic on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Drew Martin has also recently moved to
Nashville to pursue songwriting while continuing to work for Capital One. Ashwin Narla is in his first year of law school at the University of California-Berkeley. MARRIED: Allie Albright (daughter of Upper School math teacher Karen Albright) to Tabitha Jett on Aug. 29, 2015 at the Historic Tredegar in Richmond. Timmy Albright ’11 was the best man.
