With a degree in Political Science and Economic Policy, she found herself entering a career in financial services. Despite the opportunities awarded by this career, she felt lost and longing for something that fulfilled her creatively. She decided to enrol in Fashion Design and Business Management at the London School of the Arts in 2016 and launched the ready-to-wear women’s clothing line, FAUN, in 2018. Dedicated to promoting sustainable development in her late mother’s birth country of Vietnam, Clark has partnered with an ethically driven production facility Saigon to make high quality, timeless, fair trade fashion accessible to the Canadian market. Since then, FAUN has been stocked in boutiques across Canada and a sponsorship from Global Fashion Collective, Clark has presented collections on the runways of Vancouver, New York and Paris Fashion Week.
