I co-founded FLAGPOLE NYC, a seven-figure, internationally recognized, luxury womens swim and resort brand in 2011. I built the brand from the ground up, producing in New York City’s Garment district. FLAGPOLE NYC is known in the industry for it’s uncompromising quality, fit, and functionality. This experience taught me how to effectively, and thoughtfully design for a future that, although very uncertain, is in need of a responsible change. I have spent the past 15 years in the industry gaining a deep understanding of swim and activewear, as well as the luxury market as a whole. I want to continue to make women feel strong, empowered, and unapologetic. I want to strategize better practices in garment production, and I am looking to be a part of an environment that values creative problem solving.
