About

I’m a curious, creative design leader with over ten years of experience in textile, apparel and concept design. I identify product opportunities through steady trend research and market insights, especially in print and color. I thrive in translating ideas into compelling prints, patterns and collections on time and with strong ROI.

I enjoy collaborating with factories and cross-functional partners, driving calendar clarity, cost efficiency, and a planet-conscious approach to design. I bring leadership, collaboration, and a passion for design that resonates with customers and retailers alike.
