Muray Designs Her Future

Muray, an NCS client, has dreamed of becoming a professional fashion designer for a long time. When NCS’s vocational staff helped her connect with the Bombas Mentorship Program, she got “feet-on” industry experience like she never had before.

Last summer, Muray spent seven weeks working with her mentors at Bombas. She honed her design skills, learned the business side of the fashion industry, and designed socks of her own. Now, a year later, Muray’s socks are a part of Bombas’ Designed by Dreamers collection, which launched today!

You can purchase the socks here and be one of the first people to own one of Muray’s original designs.

Everyone at NCS is so proud of Muray, and we know she is just getting started. Thank you to NCS's vocational staff and everyone at Bombas who gave Muray this opportunity and set her on the path toward what we hope will be a very successful design career!

You can learn more about Muray's experience in the Bombas Mentorship Program here, and you can read about her sewing masks early in the pandemic for people who can't afford them here.

In honor of NCS’s 40th anniversary, we will be sharing stories about our founders, volunteers, supporters, and staff who make our work possible, and the residents and clients at the center of our mission.
Check back throughout the year as we regularly update the series with new stories from our 40 years here.
