In my own words

— C.J.

Designing apparel and soft goods that move with culture from a virtual vision to physical form.

I’m a product developer and apparel designer with 13+ years of experience bringing surf, skate, and snow-inspired soft goods to life from concept to production-ready prototypes.

I specialize in sewn prototypes and now able to express this experience through Clo3D simulations, digital pattern development, and virtual sampling; helping brands reduce waste, accelerate timelines, and build technically sound products with fewer factory revisions. My work bridges hands-on construction expertise with innovative 3D workflows, creating more sustainable and efficient development processes.

My style is deeply influenced by vintage action sports aesthetic, mountain + beach lifestyle, and modern fits. Every role I’ve held has supported these worlds in some way: from coaching and competing, to retail and designing.
