In My Own Words

I create innovative and marketable apparel in the mens, womens and juniors surf and skate markets. I manage and develop cohesive ranges in all categories from concept through delivery, including SMU and private label. I'm proficient in Adobe Creative Suites. I also have extensive experience in apparel graphic design, textile print design, catalog design, brand logo design and package design.
