Creative and versatile Senior Design Manager with wide-ranging fashion industry experience. My strength is drilling into a brand's core in order to design unique product that speaks to the target customer.

My Background

A childhood love of drawing developed into a love of designing fashion, and led to dual degrees from the Fashion Institute of Technology and SUNY Oneonta. Since then, I have dedicated myself to designing stylish clothing and accessories for the people of the world. To this day, nothing beats the thrill of seeing my designs online, in stores, on the street, or even on television.

My journey has exposed me to practically every aspect of the fashion industry, from initial concept, to collection fruition, to pitching those collections to rooms full of people.
