Shiho Sato's desire to further study fashion design and explore the global fashion industry led her to L.A., where she enrolled in the Fashion Design and Marketing degree program at American InterContinental University and graduated in 2007 with 4.0 GPA.

Shiho's love of fashion developed while she was still in high school as she began to design and make clothes for her friends. Upon graduating, she enrolled in the two-year Fashion Business School in Tokyo Shoka, Japan and at the same time gained real world experience working at a junior contemporary store called Rompoc. After graduating, she was hired as a manager by M/X, a stylish denim store.

At AIU, Shiho developed key skills for success in the fashion industry, such as pattern making, sewing, garment construction, drawing, Adobe Illustrator, CAD, retail and marketing.
