I am a multidisciplinary fashion designer and illustrator with over 25 years of experience creating original artwork, apparel, and product concepts across kids, pets, juniors, women’s, and young men’s markets. My work blends playful storytelling, trend-driven design, and commercially focused execution by bringing ideas to life from initial concept through production-ready assets.
I specialize in character illustration, surface pattern design, apparel collections, and fashion graphics, with a strong understanding of fit, fabrication, and manufacturing requirements. From whimsical pet apparel and accessories to youth-driven graphics, licensed-style artwork, and lifestyle collections, I create designs that are both emotionally engaging and market-ready.
With a background in both creative direction and product development, I partner with brands, licensors, and retailers to deliver cohesive visuals, strong design systems, and thoughtful storytelling with always with an eye toward wearability, scalability, and brand alignment.
