Introducing Michelle Ward
🌟 Introducing Michelle Ward, Vice President of The Fashion Community 🌟
We are thrilled to introduce Michelle Ward as the Vice President of The Fashion Community (TFC)! Michelle is a dynamic leader who shares our commitment to empowering individuals through fashion, fostering creativity, and promoting sustainability and inclusivity.
Michelle brings a wealth of expertise as the President of Argo & Lehne Jewelers, a historic Columbus institution with over 100 years of legacy. Her experience in business development, creative direction, and strategic planning shines through in everything she does. A natural builder and innovator, Michelle combines her creative vision with business acumen to propel TFC’s mission forward, helping to bridge the gap between personal expression and environmental consciousness.
Her journey began with studies in fashion design and theatre design at The Ohio State University and the American Intercontinental University in London, England.

Michelle’s leadership and vision are invaluable as we enter an exciting new chapter for TFC. Her belief in the transformative power of creativity, community, and conscious living aligns beautifully with our mission. Michelle sees life as a journey of discovery and healing, and through her work at TFC, she inspires others to take meaningful steps toward healing both the environment and themselves.

Creativity for All: Transforming Lives, Building Futures

We are a nonprofit human services agency dedicated to cultivating creativity as a vital part of life for all people. We’ve seen firsthand the profound impact creativity has—boosting confidence, fostering connection, and creating balance in a world that often feels unbalanced.
Why Your Support Matters
When you support The Fashion Community, you’re doing more than donating to an organization—you’re investing in people and meaningful connections. You’re helping people of all ages to discover their passions, empowering them to find balance, and fueling a movement that values creativity as essential. Every dollar goes toward running programs that transform lives and inspire individuals to see the world—and themselves—in their best light.
Your support helps us hosting free community events, provide materials that support fashion sustainability, train youth and elderly in workforce development and develop more programs that are tech-free, fostering communication, connection and creativity in schools, neighborhoods, and organizations. Together, we’re not just cultivating creativity; we’re shaping a future where every person can discover their potential and thrive to be themselves. We empower people and organizations to create, innovate, shine and give their gift back into their communities and the world.
We will get back to you as soon as possible.
