From Antigone to Nike: How JCHS Sparked a Designer’s Journey with Rymo Hymowitz, Class of 2021 

Episode launch date: November 18, 2025

What if the small moments in high school—the friendships, the mentors, the unexpected opportunities—turn out to be the spark that shapes your future? In this episode, we sit down with Rymo Hymowitz ’21, whose journey from sewing in the JCHS Commons to designing sports bras at Nike reveals how creativity grows when students are truly known. Rymo shares how the deep sense of community at JCHS helped her transition confidently to a huge university and encouraged her to try new things without fear. She reflects on the teachers who guided her, the theater program that gave her real artistic ownership, and the Jewish life experiences that shaped her identity. It’s a journey that shows how JCHS empowers students to discover who they are—and who they’re becoming—long after they graduate.
