I’m a life-long design-nerd who loves her career.
Culturally curious by nature, I’m an explorer - my designs are influenced by my life experiences and my inner-wanderer. My career offers me the opportunity to innovate and influence the collective material landscape. And, in this way, I think of my role as a cultural conduit - and that drives my enthusiasm for all things “design.”
As a senior-level designer, I’ve been fortunate to have had a range of experiences in the fashion industry. Beyond having gained a seasoned design skillset, I’ve also gleaned experiences in business management, customer relations, marketing, trend forecasting, sales, merchandising - this has helped me to consider what drives consumers. I don’t just design what I like - I see the big picture - from design to manufacturing, merchandising…all the way to the customer experience.
I’m a well-rounded and confident collaborator - understands that my strengths are best leveraged as a designer and manager. I am self-driven and unafraid of aggressive goals. I thrive in an environment where I can be counted on as a leader, but I’m a trustworthy soldier under good direction. I offer a broad base of experience and pride myself in consistently demonstrating an ability to deliver. I’m committed to adapting my design skills to support new visions and bringing innovative ideas to my projects.
I enjoy working toward a common goal as a highly-engaged member of my team.
