Sales Associate - Clothing

Marketing & Sales

Industrial Designer inspired to question norms, explore creativity, and improve quality of life for the individual & the planet through design.

Originally an apparel designer, I gained my industry experience as a technical designer/product developer in the juvenile industry ranging from infant hosiery to hard good design. This led me to Arizona State University where I completed my master degree in Industrial Design.

Now, I push the realm of traditional design by cultivating great product experiences with purpose. Product can't just be "pretty" anymore, it should make the user feel something, fulfill the desired need & be respectfully and responsibly designed... & that is the challenge I am here for.
