= Cassandra Casas Rojas = Cassandra Casas Rojas is a new designer who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is currently about 30 years old. Rojas has her own instagram, twitter, LinkedIn, personal website, and an online store to sell her professionally made garments. At 3 years old, she had attended dance classes three times a week. At 14 years old, Cassandra was part of a cheerleading team. Throughout her childhood, she had never thought of fashion as a future and potential career. Instead, her main goal was to become a neuron surgeon. At 18 years old, she grew more interested in fashion designing due to wanting to understand more of where her clothes had been made and had originated. Once she had graduated high school, Cassandra had applied to Kent State University and graduated as a Fashion Design Major in 2018.
