I am a creative senior design and development leader with over 20 years of experience and success across many major brands and industries.As VP of Product Development at Stitch Design, I manage a development team and coordinate the manufacturing and delivery of specialty client products. At Lumenus, I led product innovation and development and brand marketing for a startup, helping the company establish its eCommerce presence and setting the operational foundation for the IP’s eventual acquisition.I worked for Outdoor Technology as their VP of Product for four years. I guided end-to-end product development, including leading the intricate design of product components and improving manufacturing.At STX, I led a production design team in establishing an in-house sample room and an overseas development office in Asia, helping the company achieve faster, more accurate production.While director of design and development at Epica Studios, where I led independent consulting projects, I provided a variety of successful companies in the United States and China with graphic and product design, manufacturing solutions, creative direction, product engineering, and project management.In prior years, as a product design and engineering manager for QVS Global, I worked closely with the Product Management Team to design numerous successful private-label products for global retail brands.I created brand-driven lines of graphic, product, and structural packaging and mentored design teams from development through production. At the beginning of my career, after achieving a bachelor’s in industrial design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, I managed product design and development for Technine Snowboards. At Technine Snowboards, I managed a team of four developers and oversaw numerous suppliers. I owned the supplier strategy, relationships, and design processes while supervising production and quality control. I helped the company establish its first design and development office in China. I also created a stable supply chain for the brand in Asia and successfully launched three lines of snowboarding bindings.Throughout my career, I have enjoyed working with development teams and bringing fresh perspectives in design and manufacturing concepts to ignite creativity and product innovation.I find success in refining processes, elevating individual and team performance, and running Lean end-to-end operations that deliver on design intention and quality.
