About

I am a Seattle native, who found her grounding the Bay Area following my dream of as a creative professional in the world of apparel design. I am an enthusiastic designer who has been praised for my creativity and excite my co-workers and management teams. I enjoy making work fun, but know how to get down to business to meet deadlines. I have gained expert experience in product development across an array of categories. Overall, I have a deep understanding of color and fabrication, have a keen eye for detail and take pride in my organization skills. Team collaboration and cultivating strong cross-functional partnerships are skills I have honed in and focused on developing over the years.

I have a thorough understanding of the product lifecycle from concept to production, with a demonstrated history of creating and tying aspirational concepts to business strategies to create a well-balanced assortments with both innovation and key comps, while embodying the brand identity and infusing my personal flare.

Expressing myself creatively and designing are my driving force, but I deeply enjoy learning too. The world has a vast amount to offer and I enjoy discovering how something works, reading about how I can improve or try something new. Alternatively, teaching gives me great fulfillment, I love spending time with others sharing the knowledge I have, especially if it is a hands on project. I love to get out an explore as far as an airplane can fly or a close as my feet will walk.  I have been sewing since I was young, creating all kind of projects from scratch, which has given me over 20 years worth of knowledge of garment construction.
