About
I’m a creative R&D and design professional specialized in rug and home textile collection development, working across concept creation, color strategy, artwork/design production, and production preparation. I enjoy translating market needs and trend direction into original, production-ready collections—balancing premium aesthetics with manufacturability.
Throughout my career, I’ve led multi-month development cycles with international stakeholders, coordinated with overseas weaving and manufacturing teams, and focused on quality, sampling follow-ups, and color/yarn planning. From premium hand-knotted and luxury rugs to commercial mass-market collections, I approach every project with curiosity, continuous learning, and a drive to push creative boundaries.
