Ashley Tashjian

Ashley Tashjian is the Senior Director of Design & Merchandising at French Toast Schoolwear, where she leads product innovation, inclusive design, and brand expansion across the full portfolio. Her work is dedicated to creating clothing that fosters confidence, independence, and accessibility for all students. After attending a GlamourGals makeover event in November 2024, Ashley was deeply inspired by the joy and connection it sparked, motivating her to join the Advisory Council and help broaden the organization’s impact nationwide. She is passionate about empowering young leaders and strengthening intergenerational relationships.

Before joining French Toast, Ashley led Toddler Girl Design at The Children’s Place and later brought her expertise to LT Apparel Group to design for HealthTex, sold exclusively at Walmart. She earned her BFA from Marist University, majoring in Fashion Design with a minor in Fashion Merchandising - her most cherished college experience being a semester abroad in Florence in Fall 2008.

Outside of work, Ashley enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, playing tennis, and, true to her industry, shopping.
