About Me.

I'm an apparel and color designer focused on technical, sustainable pieces with purpose. Most recently, as Designer and Product Developer at Youer, I led seasonal color and trend research, managed fabric and trim sourcing, and oversaw tech packs, patternmaking, and print development to take products from concept to production. I design apparel that performs, prioritizes durability and responsible materials, and minimizes environmental impact.
