LO-RES

DONDO BEACH MARKET

Locally owned and operated, DBM launched to fill a void & meet the creative needs & productive pursuit sought by myself and other merch makers. Currently providing printing, embroidery & design services to promote artists, small brands and businesses.

As Co-Founder of LO-RES and Owner of DONDO BEACH MARKET, my focus has been on harnessing creativity to drive business development and support local artisans. My focus is to empower small brands and businesses by offering top-tier printing, embroidery, and design services. Collaborating closely with fellow creatives, I've built a community hub that not only meets market demand but also fuels the growth of innovative ideas. Previously, as a Global Design Director for DC, I honed my skills in creating modern apparel designs that resonated with brand identity, while fostering communication and leadership within the team. My ability to weave global feedback into a coherent product vision has been critical in maintaining the integrity of each design, ensuring that every collection not only meets but exceeds expectations.

Small Business Owner

Creativity, Communication, and Leadership are the 3 factors of success in my role as Global Design Director. My priority was to create modern concepts that encompass the brands DNA by way of style, innovation, quality, and performance. It's the communication of those ideas, utilizing global feedback, that allow the vision to manifest into a product. Many decisions must be made in the development cycle and doing so requires organization, time management, and the ability to lead and inspire each product team member throughout the creative journey.
