In My Own Words

Creative Softgoods Designer with a strong background in product development.

Brand builder and creator with 20+ years of experience across fashion, wellness, and cultural innovation.

I’ve led high-end fashion labels and wellness ventures from startup to exit, specializing in concept creation, branding, sourcing, and production.

Sought after for my expertise, I’ve collaborated with top-tier brands including Enfant Riches Déprimés, John Elliott, Biltwell, Stampd LA, Second Layer, and Hoorsenbuhs.

I take ideas from first sketch through material sourcing, prototyping, and full production — always with a focus on fit, functionality, and aesthetic excellence.

My work is grounded in quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity, blending intuitive design thinking with technical precision and a holistic perspective.

Skilled in design, branding, packaging, digital art, AI tools, and wellness product development, I bridge creative vision with business strategy to bring bold ideas to life.

I work hands-on with pattern development, garment construction, material selection, and production management, ensuring that every product not only looks right — but wears right.

I thrive in fast-paced environments where creativity, collaboration, and attention to detail drive innovation.

Above all, I’m committed to building real-world products and experiences that resonate deeply with people.
