With over 25 years in the apparel industry, I have led design and product development across domestic and offshore production, building and guiding teams to deliver market-ready garments. I’m known for turning concepts into efficient, bestselling product, creating strong tech packs and proto development, and managing fittings and grading to establish top-selling blocks. I thrive in collaborative, upbeat environments and excel at driving process improvements and team motivation. Fluent in English and Spanish, I’ve partnered with a wide range of brands and retailers—from startups to mass-market players—across multiple categories and geographies. I’m energized by complex projects, global production networks, and opportunities to mentor others while delivering high-quality, scalable products.
