Sr Apparel Designer

Fashion & Apparel

Results-driven leader with a proven track record in apparel design, brand strategy, and action sports marketing. As a VP-level marketing and design professional, I specialize in leading product lifecycle management (PLM), R&amp;D, merchandising, and go-to-market strategies for both endemic and core skateboarding and streetwear brands. With deep roots in skate culture and action sports, I have built and led creative and marketing teams, developed high-impact social media marketing campaigns, and driven growth for independent retailers, chain retailers, and direct-to-consumer channels.
