Celebrity fashion designer Michael Costello is a self-taught prodigy. Now one of the most sought-after designers in the world, he built his empire by helping make women of all shapes and sizes feel beautiful. He's upended an industry that lacked diversity and infused it with a new energy to reach millennials like him.

"Design is a roller coaster of creativity. Working with your materials and passion is what guides you toward your goal."

While preparing for his show at New York Fashion Week, Costello turned to Dropbox to help connect him with his collaborators and share visual concepts. They became essential tools for his creative process and organization, keeping his team synced between New York, Poland, California, and Miami.

He wrote about his creative process and the role Dropbox played through a bylined article and onsite activation at his show. You can read it here.
