Over two decades in apparel development and production have taught me that fashion is never just about appearances. It’s about empowering self-expression and encouraging people to own their vision of what the world can be. I’m constantly seeking new opportunities to help brands embody their vision in the face of fierce competition and exacting resource constraints, whether brainstorming new products, negotiating with vendors, or expanding and streamlining operations to keep pace with ambitious delivery timelines. I have managed production for everything from boutiques to globally recognized brands, giving me a uniquely holistic perspective on everything from routine logistical snags to higher-level competitive risks and opportunities. In addition, I balance my seasoned operational and strategic knowledge with a constant (joyful) awareness that I will never be done learning.There are always new fires to put out when bringing something to market, but experience has taught me that treating your team members like rock stars is precisely how they’ll perform. So, whatever the challenge, I blend a ruthless work ethic with unfailing positivity and an integrity-driven, approachable leadership style that inspires trust and commitment.
