Assistant Footwear Designer | 06/2023 - Current

As an assistant designer, I wear many hats. I am exposed to multiple sides of the footwear design and development process. I work across 4-5 distinct brands per season, each with unique market demands, aesthetics, and consumer needs. My direct responsibilities include trend research, material selection, prototyping, and sample development, ensuring designs align with market insights and brand strategy. By aligning with product managers, marketers, and technical teams, I contribute to creating footwear collections that sell tens of thousands of units annually and deliver commercially successful designs.

Product Educator | 09/2021 - 02/2022

Educators at lululemon athletica do just that! They educate. Their main role is to effectively educate guests on the fabrics, features, fit and function of the product, the culture and the communities lululemon belong to. By educating guests we empower them to make decisions for themselves based on the facts that we offer them. By doing this, the guesswork is taken out of shopping for customers, and a ‘Wow! It’s You!’ guest experience is created, leaving customers with the knowledge to educate others on behalf of lululemon athletica. Authentic conversations are key to delivering the ultimate guest experience by relaying your experiences with lululemon products to the guest. Involvement in teamwork is highly emphasized and the focus is placed on turning a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’ whenever possible.
