A highly experienced designer with over 12 years in the industry, I've worked with small fashion startups as well as large corporations such as Nike and Levi's. Categories have included men's and women's lifestyle and outdoor bags, hats & accessories, travel (incl. luggage), baby, sport and pet. I have a flexible and motivated working style, ultimately striving to create the best product possible. I am highly collaborative, taking feedback and executing changes in stride, and always presenting thoughtful design. I ran my own contemporary leather handbag brand for 8+ years which gave me a great understanding of product development and sourcing, both domestically and overseas, as well as sales, marketing and the bottom line. I offer the complete design package from concept through to production: my expertise includes bag & accessory construction, creating clear and comprehensive tech packs and selecting the most appropriate materials and components. I’m also accustomed to working on multiple deliveries concurrently, prioritizing tasks as needed, and always hitting deadlines. My entrepreneurial spirit allows me to contribute to a brand in whatever way is needed. And I am a loyal and hard-working, creative and trend-savvy designer. I am highly proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and In Design, with graphic design and creating compelling marketing content being a secondary skill set.
