Nice to meet you!
I am a versatile design leader - specializing in active, performance, and luxury apparel. Obsessing over consumer needs and desires is a primary focus of mine. Without customer buy-in, there is no brand! I have spent many years in this industry observing, testing, and gathering feedback for product - through surveys and wear testing, as well as professional athlete insights. My unique perspective is to merge highly technical materials with unexpected silhouettes to create surprising garments suited to athletics, travel, and everyday wear.
What sets me apart from others in my field is my acute interest in not only designing product itself, but also the merchandising and development aspects of building product. With a genuine interest in business results, I understand the significance of strong relationships with cross-functional teammates. I work side by side with merchandising partners to ensure that the product I manage aligns with complex domestic and global market needs. I am a conscientious leader that strives in every way to create the best product that meets consumer and business demands. I am passionate about mentorship and about championing sustainability best practices.
I am a lifelong runner, a golf newcomer, and an avid hiker. I prefer to laugh all day long, and I really love pumpkin pie.
