Originally from North East Ohio, I now call San Francisco my home. After over a decade of experience in apparel design, I’ve been a key contributor in the growth of two incredible brands. Working as a consultant, I've chosen to channel my knowledge and enthusiasm into supporting companies in realizing their product and brand aspirations. I work in the world of apparel design and creative direction, with a focus on crafting consumer-centric brand/ product stories, concept development, color work, product strategy, future insights, and marketing positioning.
I hold a BFA in Apparel from the Rhode Island School of Design, setting the foundation for my passion in craft and design. My journey in the fashion industry began in Brooklyn, where I landed my first role at Calvin Klein Platinum Label after graduation. In 2015, I had the incredible opportunity to join the Outdoor Voices team as their 10th hire, where I played a pivotal role in building and nurturing a brand that resonates with people.
After almost five rewarding years with Outdoor Voices, I decided to embark on a new adventure by bringing my passion for product and brand development to Allbirds, especially as they ventured into a new category. This allowed me to use my skills and experience to develop a new program from the beginning, build a team, process, and calendar.
My world revolves around color, proportion, understanding the human condition, and, of course, laughter. I’m deeply passionate about working in apparel because I believe in providing people with the means to express themselves and embrace their unique individuality.
