With a solid foundation in patternmaking and construction, my career began in Asia, matured in London and diversified in Europe. My portfolio encompasses a wide variety of creative and technical design work for globally renowned wholesale and retail brands, inclusive of 'Fast' fashion-driven collections to technical apparel, outerwear, and denim. Whether working at large scale design headquarters, in startup environments, or hands on the factory floor, I am wholly engaged in the evolution of my apparel lines and excel in finding innovative solutions through every aspect of the creative and development processes. I am passionate and committed to realizing the best product possible.
As a result of my career path, I have acquired multi-faceted design, sourcing and production experience across men's and women's product categories with a focus on and passion for outerwear, denim, and knits. Additionally, as a fashion educator, I have taught Design, Textiles, Trend and Product Development curriculum at California College of the Arts, and the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
I am authorized to work in the US, the UK, and Australia.
