Experienced Director, Product Designer & Product Developer, Sourcing expert & Brand Consultant. Career of 20 years developing various soft & hard product. Strong, collaborative leader skilled in private brand product development with domestic and international suppliers. Create specialized design & brand concepts, or expand upon existing product/lines to fit clients business needs, competitive marketplace and seasonal trends.
I thrive in lead and leader roles in a creative, energetic environment that is challenging, diverse, and allows professional growth. I am currently taking on projects that will diversify my existing portfolio.
I am a designer with a passion for product. Whether working with the next seasonal trend palette, creating a new surface or textile design, or choosing hard finishes to complete a project, I enjoy getting into the details. Textiles, hard lines or seasonal goods, the high quality of my work comes from the dedication and passion that I put into my projects. The beauty of a design is nothing without spirit. I hope for all my designs to have beauty on the surface and a hardworking backbone, form and function.
I was raised in a fantastic family that helped to shape my creative vision and great work ethic for life. With a father who works for an engineering, architecture and surveying company, and a mother who has been a bee keeper for the last 40 years, I have learned to appreciate all kinds of design & beauty in the world.
Influencing and creating as a profession is fantastic. Making the world a more fun, relaxed, stylish place to live, work and play everyday is extremely rewarding. I hope to keep doing this for many years to come!
