I translate trend and business insights into seasonal print and color stories that drive business. With a background in textile design and history, I have a strong creative eye and clear point of view.

I started as a hands-on CAD artist, developing repeats, separations, and colorways, and I continue to bring that technical expertise to my work. I have in-depth knowledge of fabric construction, I'm skilled in NedGraphics and the Adobe Creative Suite, and I've managed artwork development from initial concept development through production.

I built and led a CAD team from the ground up, including hiring, training, and mentoring. I set clear workflows and standards so teams can stay creative while meeting deadlines across multiple seasons and brands.

I am highly collaborative, and work closely with design, merchandising, sourcing, and senior leadership to balance creative integrity with cost and production realities. I keep everyone aligned and the work moving forward.

I am a strategic thinker, skilled at synthesizing trend research and consumer insights into directional concept presentations that inspire teams and drive business.
