Director of Global Design - SOREL

I’m a designer and creative director with over 18 years of experience in the sports and lifestyle industry. I pride myself on being a high-level creator, reputable leader, problem solver, and innovator. My approach to design and creative is thorough, pragmatic, and consumer centric. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve on approach with an open mind and solution focused. I feel that one of my best qualities is not only my design background and bringing out the best creativity in others, but my understanding and experience of the business side of the industry, and the synchronization of all the product creation function for success.
