Men's Designer

Creative & Design

After 10+ years of experience in the industry focusing on children's & men's sportswear, men & women's activewear, I have a solid background in design, color, construction, and overall understanding of the design process from concept to production.

I oversee the men's assortment for all club business: Sam's Club, Costco, BJ's. The assortment includes men's activewear and sportswear. Some licenses that I work with include but are not limited to: Orvis, Eddie Bauer, Woolrich. Market trends are researched and relevant trends are hand selected to be showcased in the new season. I work with the accounts to cater to what is best for them. I keep an open line of communication to the product development and production teams in order to ensure an outstanding product.

I conceptualized designs for men's/women's/children's activewear, children's licensed sportswear, young men's sportswear. I also worked on licensed brands including: Disney, Reebok, Levi's, Asics, Harley Davidson, Dr. Seuss, Peanuts, Walker Street Refinery, OurCaste, and more. Some of my products were sold in the United States and Korea at major retailers such as Macy's, JcPenney, Sears, Nordstrom, Costco, Dick's, Sports Authority, Sam's, BJ's, and more.

Young Men's Designer

I worked closely with owner/designer to conceptualize designs for new seasons. I worked with local vendors for fabric sourcing, dye and wash houses, production cutting and sewing. There was a heavy focus on local production. When production was done, I styled photoshoots for website and catalog sales.

Freelance Assistant Designer

I maintained accurate upkeep of seasonal records and linesheets. I organized and executed the distribution of sample requests to various clients in a timely manner. When needed, I would educate the sales team and buyers about the product of the season. Some of the product brands include Beautees, Knitworks, Justice, Limited Too.
