About Me

The future of retail is one of constant change. In the face of challenges we must apply an entrepreneurial mindset to weather the storms that may come, to see opportunities for innovation and outstanding service to the customer as our number one method to grow the bottom line.

Over the past 15 years, I've developed my skills in creative design, built on the foundation of technical knowledge: fit, fabric, finish, construction, and cost-effectiveness. In my time working with small brands, I learned what it's like to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and developed processes to improve tech pack accuracy while streamlining for efficiency. In my time working with mass-market Fortune 500 companies, I learned how to innovate through incremental change and developed retail product development strategies for items sold and distributed world-wide.​ I am passionate about technological integration, process development, and 3D implementation for apparel fit/digital sampling.

​

My greatest supporters would say I'm honest, forthright, and forward-thinking. 

 

I am a customer-driven designer delivering creative problem solving, cost savings, and innovative ideation with professional-level experience in an extensive range of design capacities.
