In my own words
— JackieHello, I’m a designer from NYC, recently relocated to Southern California to be closer to the Pacific Ocean .
I have over 10 years experience in women’s and men’s sportswear with a proven track record of high selling styles, pushing brands forward, and collaborative team leadership. I’m looking forward to all of the excellent opportunities at the fantastic lifestyle brands here in sunny Californian. Forgive me for being so cheesy im just so happy to be here :)
