I'm a Southern California based designer with over 11 years experience. My background has primarily been in women's swimwear and active wear but I also have experience in ready to wear, accessories and loungewear. I put myself out there to accept any challenges big or small as one does in this industry. I find leading and working with a team is incredibly inspiring and enlightening. My objective is to use my background, talent and experience to help grow whatever brand/company I am a part of. I am a results driven designer.
