As a Senior Designer with years of experience in lifestyle apparel, I have played a crucial role in the expansion and development that takes a brand from small startup to corporate success. I have demonstrated success in sourcing trends, creating color stories, merchandising, fabric and print development and I am an expert in maintaining strong vendor relations. I have consistently exhibited excellent time management and project skills with creative problem-solving abilities. I am a collaborative leader who enjoys working with teams of designers to push the limits of upscale clothing collections. My aim is to perpetuate sustainable design while creating forward-thinking and on trend collections for the savvy consumer.
