As an APPAREL AND LICENSING DESIGN EXECUTIVE I’m known for creating innovative and compelling product for lifestyle brands. I have a passion for creating product that inspires emotion in the customer by delivering authentic storytelling across multiple product categories.

I am a Design Leader who gets results by leveraging a combination of creative vision, product execution, and building highly collaborative partnerships.
