Brooklyn

Soho

I was brought on board the Coldwater Creek team to create the more complicated patterns and prints. Coldwater Creek follows the wabi-sabi mindset, so most of the art was created by hand using pen and ink or watercolors to create a naturalistic feel. Other than the obvious technical abilities needed to create the designs the most important aspect was placement. CWC graphics need to look great a wide variety of body shapes, so it was important to have a keen eye on how the graphic sits on the garment.

Responsible for every aspect of the Men’s Graphic Tees offerings, from developing intial inspiration and mood boards to QC trips at the screen printers and creating in store dispays. Collaborated with the Cut and Sew division to create repeat patterns. Created technical schematics for new bag and backpack designs.

My main area of focus was in creating the more complicated illustrated graphics for the main line and SMU's for preferred venders.
