DESIGNING WITH PURPOSE

I'm a conceptual thinker who loves working with my hands when given the chance. I thrive in ambiguity, where the answer isn't obvious yet and the fun is in figuring it out. At my core, I'm a problem solver who believes almost anything is possible with the right approach, and I care about telling stories through my work and designing with intention.

I've spent over a decade building a career around accessories, footwear, and apparel, and I still love the work as much as I did when I started. There's something genuinely satisfying about taking a concept from a rough sketch through prototyping, materials, and construction, and watching it become a product people actually want to use.

Along the way, I've worked across bags, footwear, socks, headwear, and hardware for major global brands. I've led design direction, developed new construction techniques, and partnered closely with manufacturing teams to bring ideas to life. I've also built and mentored design teams, which has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

What keeps me energized is variety. I enjoy moving between categories and problems, whether that's engineering a new hardware detail, solving a tricky construction challenge, or figuring out how to make a collection work at scale. I'm always chasing something new to learn, and a good challenge is what makes this work feel less like a job and more like something I get to keep growing into.
