The Parsons alum is now also a board member of ‘Well Beings Charity,’ an organization that elevates and unites animal welfare and environmental protection.
In this episode, Hassan tells Mission about the true definition of sustainability, creating a platform for emerging designers, and how to throw the most glamorously sustainable event of the season.
