About

My name is Corinna Wright

Hello, and welcome to my first blog ever. I am a Senior Design Manager and have been a designer for Dickies workwear for over 25 years. During my time with the brand, I have accumulated a wealth of institutional knowledge, making me one of its "accidental archivists" and brand historian.

My passion for collecting and preserving products and the history of the American worker led me to pursue a degree in Archival Studies at the University of North Texas, my alma mater. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of my coursework and am very much looking forward to bringing this knowledge back to Dickies, where I can use these skills to preserve our archives.
