Co-Founder, COO · DRIFTLINE
Co-Founder of a watersport apparel brand that makes patented wetsuit lined boardshorts called Drifties™. In a team of only two, I’ve formed the visual identity and evolved the brand to meet its growing customer base, while wearing all other operational hats to drive the business forward. From designing all apparel products, to sourcing materials, managing inventory, brand P&L and marketing budgets, and everything else in between, I’ve played a critical role in developing a consistent marketing approach that’s skyrocketed sales growth across global audiences.
Driftline has since been featured on ABC’s Shark Tank (May 2022), and has received prominent coverage in Forbes, Outside Magazine, The Inertia, San Diego Magazine, and other notable publications.
