Hi, I am a Design Director experienced in apparel design and product development, with expertise in art, print and pattern direction. I am passionate about creating beautiful, meaningful products that express a brand’s unique story. I am a strong and empathetic creative team leader, driving innovative results while fostering team growth and retention.
My work sits at the intersection of artistry and strategy, shaped by an appreciation for Scandinavian design, traditional textile craft, and the cultural currents influencing how we live and design. I began my career creating handpainted prints for boutique designers in Brooklyn, NY and that foundation in craft opened doors to every corner of the fashion world– from in-house design and brand development to runway production and editorial styling. Across each role, I’ve built a consistent record of delivering distinctive, high-quality design aesthetics that elevates product and strengthens brand vision.
I have 20 years of experience leading a creative teams and directing seasonal print and pattern collections. I love collaborating from concept to an exceptional and best-selling finished product!
Need a collaborator, design leader, or expert print & pattern creator–
get in touch!
