Inspirational and innovative global product designer with over 14+ years of experience driving visionary creative direction and brand value for high-profile companies. Motivational leader able to align cross-functional teams, elevating trend forward products, grounded in the ideation that progress comes from change and adaptation to market needs.
My experience in the fashion and home industries has led me to work with leading retailers such as Athleta, Pottery Barn, Old Navy, Gap, Gymboree, Mervyn's, Roxy, Quicksilver, Liz Claiborne and Nautica. I have a proven history of managing teams, coordinating product development, forecasting trends, setting creative direction, building concepts, graphic stories, textile themes and driving business metrics.
Tracing my career path I’ve learned that the foundation of being a great creative leader is grounded in listening, absorbing, exploring, questioning and transmitting. I have valued these steps and learnings along the way. I continue to keep climbing and striving to be an even stronger leader, a Sherpa to the top for my team and company. I’ve set personal and professional goals to continue exploring through travel, innovating via my resources and questions, mentoring my piers and team, learning through feedback and education; with my morals and values as my foot hold.
