I’m a fashion and product development professional with 7 years of experience bringing apparel from concept to production. I’ve worked across men’s and women’s categories, with a strong focus on knits, and I love turning creative ideas into well-executed, market-ready products. From building detailed tech packs and managing development timelines to collaborating with cross-functional teams and vendors, I’m comfortable owning the process and making sure every detail aligns with the brand vision. I’m known for being organized, proactive, and easy to work with, especially in fast-paced environments where priorities can shift quickly. I enjoy problem-solving, refining product details, and helping teams stay on track to deliver on time. I’m always looking for opportunities to grow, take on new challenges, and bring thoughtful, high-quality products to life.
