I aim to inspire those I work with by balancing the precise, structured production side design with the loose, blue sky creativity require to innovate. Color and materials help me consider a product’s first impression and lifecycle after sale.
I’m passionate about creating products that serve specific aesthetic or performance requirements in outerwear, layering, lifestyle apparel and footwear.
CLO & Gravity Sketch inspire my workflow because I enjoy the rendering process when a model, materials and lighting come together to showcase a visualization from my mind's eye.
Searching to continue my career as a critical member of production design teams who is relied on for crucial responsibilities to help facilitate product manufacturing and disperse workload
My ski journey influences my design decisions by improving my understanding of how products fit into consumers’ closets of existing gear, what colors and materials interact nicely with other products and what durable construction looks like.
Skiing regularly provides me a front row seat to current trend observations, product innovation and market tendencies. These observations can be applied to tangential markets and often align with trends in adjacent categories of personal interest like footwear, mountain bike, gym and lifestyle goods.
