In My Own Words
I am an enthusiastic, and active outdoor apparel designer. My main source of outdoor entertainment is trail, and mountain running, though I love just about any way to get outside. The outdoor apparel industry is a perfect combination of my passion to be active and outdoors, and to be artsy and create. I am looking to be a part of a team who shares my sentiments, excitement, and love of outdoor, active apparel.
