Bringing concepts to reality by leaning into curiosity, valuing collaboration, and using insights to inspire creative thinking
Transforming sparks of inspiration into inspired product
My love for design and storytelling started early — from glued-together Barbie clothes, to mood boards assembled from old magazine clippings, and dance performance pieces — that same creative instinct still guides how I lead, build, and collaborate today.
Over time, I’ve shaped that creativity into a multidisciplinary career spanning fashion, homeware, hospitality, sourcing & procurement, operations, and digital product. I’ve launched brands, opened manufacturing facilities, and brought ideas to life — from sketch to showroom, platform to purchase, strategy to scale.
I’ve worked across couture and commercial, domestic and global, startup and enterprise — leading 120+ fashion collections, 50+ global R&D trips, and guiding cross-functional teams driving GTM strategies with $40M+ in annual sales. What connects it all is a commitment to building products that are thoughtful, functional, and emotionally resonant.
At the heart of my work is a belief in human connection. I value collaboration and the kind of shared vision that turns ideas into momentum. Whether I’m leading a team or brainstorming with a new partner, I bring warmth, clarity, and a deep respect for the people behind the process.
Embracing change, connecting dots, delivering value
As an operator with 15+ years of leadership experience, I build scalable systems that unite creative vision with operational rigor.
I specialize in end-to-end execution across product, design, manufacturing, GTM strategy, digital transformation, and optimizing global supply chains. From building pipelines and leading cross-functional teams, to refining SOPs that reduce waste and improve quality, I bring both strategy and sleeves-up execution.
Whether an agile, hybrid, or predictive environment, I help organizations connect their why to the how by delivering sustainable growth through aligned processes, clear roadmaps, and empowered people. Above all, I lead with empathy, creativity, and a belief in excellence without ego.

Design rooted in storytelling, built for scale
My creative process begins with the spark — a textile, a color, a moment — and moves through line planning, technical development, product positioning, and brand presentation. I believe great design doesn’t live in isolation; it’s shaped by production realities, market needs, and consumer emotion.
Across apparel, accessories, CPGs, and homeware, I’ve launched brands and collections that speak to modern luxury while remaining commercially viable. From draping one-of-a-kind couture to developing scalable B2B and private-label programs, I guide design with equal parts creative intuition and business acumen.
I’ve led design teams, built client experiences, and been featured in British Vogue, WWD, California Wedding Day, and worn to the Grammy Awards. Product has been sold to Bloomingdale’s, Barneys, Anthropologie, Dillard’s, Chico’s, and worldwide distributors, as well as worn by Heidi Klum, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Amal Clooney, and Sofia Vergara.
Whether developing a capsule collection or reimagining a heritage brand, I bring clarity to the creative process and joy to the journey.

Helping audiences connect inspiration to execution
Over the years, I’ve found deep fulfillment in sharing my knowledge — whether through keynote speaking, guest lecturing, or curriculum development. Thriving at the intersection of structure and storytelling, I’ve spoken to CGI animation teams about digital garment construction, advised emerging fashion students on building brands, and helped educational institutions shape creative and technical curricula.
My speaking style blends creative antidotes with practical frameworks. I love helping audiences connect the dots between inspiration and execution — demystifying product development, leadership, and what it takes to build a sustainable creative business.
