Originally from New Jersey and studied Fashion and Textile Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. For the past couple of decades, I've designed across fashion, home textiles, and lifestyle brands, transforming consumer insight into trend strategy, concept development, color, print, and pattern. My career has evolved from hands-on designer to leadership roles, but the work has always remained the same—creating thoughtful design that connects people, products, and purpose. Always curious, I’ve continued my education and received my MBA at Rutgers University. Now, using both art and analytics, I continue to explore emerging behaviors and cultural shifts, translating research into commercially relevant creative direction.
