I believe in building better product for better business, focusing on sustainability and the future of our industry and planet.

Lead Womenswear Designer with over 12 years of multi-product experience in Outerwear, Wovens, Knitwear, Jersey and Swim with a focus on sustainable product and solutions.

Over my career, I have gained experience in full time and freelance positions; which has taught me how to adapt quickly, work collaboratively and manage teams to establish and grow successful collections. In my most recent role as Lead Womens Wear Designer at Finisterre, we grew the gross profit for the womenswear department alone by 370% from 2018 to 2020.

I am passionate about people, community and culture; I believe in empowering and investing in the people that I work with, understanding the value of feeling valued. A sense of community and a good work place culture is essential to success of any company.

Let’s work together.
