I am a designer based in San Francisco, California, with experience in Brand Concepts, Cut & Sew Knits, Outerwear, and Sweaters. Currently, I design for Banana Republic, while my previous experiences include Calvin Klein Sportswear and Calvin Klein Jeans.
My vision is to become a leader who creatively bridges people and products: both internally through team and brand culture, and externally through creating initiatives that speak personally to customers’ needs and values.
My passion lies in elevating brands through products, storytelling, and partnerships. I thrive in transforming the quotidian into the coveted, and I am fascinated by how we engage customers and target audiences. My approach involves combining research on both past and present, vintage archetypes and current trends, how we’ve done things before and how we can change. We need to know the rules in order to break the rules.
I believe collaboration is essential to ideation and learning. With my self-starting attitude and natural people skills, I am able to successfully collaborate across different functions and influence leaders at all levels. If I truly believe in an idea, I’ll partner with advocates across the organization to make things happen. In the words of Shirley Chisholm: “If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair”.
