Available to hire
I am a designer and creative based in Southern California. With experience spanning both global brands and startups, I bring a holistic understanding of how design, storytelling, and strategy work together to create products people connect with.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with industry brands including The North Face, Oakley, Travis Mathew, Callaway, Fanatics, Puma, Eddie Bauer, and Roark Revival — developing collections that balance innovation, functionality, and style. Most recently, I helped launch Tiger & Eloise for Stoney Clover Lane and Travis Mathew Women’s line; leading design direction and development support from concept to final product execution.
