I am a multidisciplinary fashion and product designer specializing in childrenswear, pet apparel, and accessories, juniors, and womenswear with a strong focus on illustration-driven design, surface pattern prints, and end-to-end product development. My work blends playful storytelling with commercial strategy, creating thoughtfully designed apparel, accessories, and giftable products for kids, pets, juniors and lifestyle brands.
With over 20 years of industry experience, I develop original surface pattern designs, graphics, and collections for apparel, plush, accessories, and licensed product, guiding concepts from trend research and sketching through tech packs, production, and go-to-market execution. My design approach balances creativity, functionality, and market relevance, delivering products that are both emotionally engaging and production-ready.
Whether collaborating with brands, licensors, or startups, I bring a strong understanding of children’s fashion, pet fashion, textiles, prints, juniors lifestyle trends, color, and materials, paired with hands-on expertise in product development, vendor communication, and seasonal line building.
