I am fascinated by the social and psychological interactions between people, products, brands, and retailers. The creative intersections of sustainability, functional design, multicultural design, and inclusive design greatly excite me. I am obsessed with craft, quality, and creativity; and I thrive in team environments where ideas are freely exchanged and developed collectively. I have a proven track record of delivering innovative fashion-forward and revenue-driving designs for apparel and accessories, as well as experience leading dynamic creative teams and developing talent. I am attracted to unique companies and brands that have a clear vision and stand for something they believe in. I am driven to use design to make a difference in the world, and firmly believe anything is possible if you put your mind to it and your heart into it.Specialties: Apparel and accessories.
