Jenny Johansson - RAGNHILD
Jenny Johansson
Fashion Design, Class of 2015
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

RAGNHILD. It is Swedish family name that means "Amazon," or a legendary race of female warriors, and fittingly serves as the title of Academy of Art University Tennis alumni Jenny Johansson's clothing brand.

A 2015 graduate from the School of Fashion, Johansson followed a path as unique as her products in taking the fledgling idea of a clothing line to what became a thriving international business. RAGNHILD combines a Scandinavian design aesthetic and a focus on sustainability with the goal of creating "clothes that make a difference from the first step of the chain to the last, from when the fabric is selected until it is hanging in our customers' closets."

As a senior, Johansson contributed to 20 victories across singles and doubles with one of those coming during a 5-3 upset of No. 7 Hawaii Pacific in the semifinals of the Pacific West Conference Championship Tournament which led ART U to its first-ever opportunity to host NCAA West Regionals. She would later be announced as one of Academy of Art's nominees for NCAA Woman of the Year.

"The one thing that makes me keep going is my love for creating; it always wins over the uphill battles," said Johansson. "Never let anyone tell you it can't be done. Always listen to your heart. It is always right. If you know and feel like it can be done, never let anything discourage you. Keep doing and trying! You may not always end up exactly where you hoped to be, but it's the journey that's the most important! You'll get there eventually; wherever it is you're meant be!"
