COLLABORATIVE COMMERCE | CURATION | CONCEPT TRANSLATOR | FUTURE NARRATOR TheBlueSkyCollective is an experimental design collaborative, dedicated to inhabiting a third space—a reimagining of how the world could be.As a collective, we craft design experiences, art installations, and events that foster connection and create opportunities for different worlds to collide. Our desire is to envision + build a future where we can come together while remaining fully authentic to ourselves.Forever an optimist, driven by the possibilities ahead, I believe in authentic, collaborative design as a powerful agent of social change.

SPORTSWEAR LIFESTYLE | STREET AESTHETIC | CONCEPT DRIVENNautica is a global lifestyle brand, founded in 1983, with a rich history rooted in traditional sportswear and a heritage that has seamlessly crossed over into street culture. As part of the menswear design team, I've had the pleasure of contributing to a wide range of design projects, targeting varied yet focused markets—from limited edition golf collections to the Blue Sail Macy's exclusive line, in-house artist series, and collaborations with Lil Yachty and Urban Outfitters.I've enjoyed managing the creative and production cycles of hundreds of products simultaneously. Seeing our products evolve from concept to retail offers a unique creative satisfaction—it's like sharing a piece of myself with the world.Navigating the myriad changes—product shifts, division mergers, rebranding strategies, and leadership transitions—was challenging at times, but it ultimately strengthened our team and brought us closer together.What I loved most was co-creating our seasonal set room—a truly collaborative and essential communicative act. It not only set the tone for the season but also served as a visual guide, keeping us focused through countless color, style, and fabric edits, revisions, and pricing challenges. The set room helped us design with integrity, staying true to the conceptual vision that distinguishes a brand from its competitors.

SUPPLY CHAIN LOGISTICS | WAREHOUSING | SAMPLE COORDINATIONWorking at Lilly Pulitzer, the epitome of the Palm Springs Resort lifestyle, not only expanded my collection of bright pink printed shifts but also introduced me to the back end of fashion—how items are shipped, packed, and delivered to retailers.It was here that I fell in love with prints and discovered, through warehouse sales, encounters with devoted Lilly fans, and Palm Springs-inspired parties, how a tightly focused concept can evolve into an entire culture.
