I am a design professional with 20+ years of experience, blending strong craft with strategic thinking across prints, pattern, and embellishment for outerwear, wovens, sweaters, knits, and denim. I excel at taking ideas from concept to production, collaborating with product teams to deliver elevated, market-ready looks. As the founder of NOCH Mini and as a senior designer for global brands like Lauren Ralph Lauren and Luly Yang Design Group, I lead with a sustainable mindset, mentor design teams, and translate creative direction into commercially successful lines. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy shaping brand stories through color, texture, and silhouette.
