I've led home décor product development for Target, TJMaxx, Ross, Hobby Lobby, and Lowe's, taking seasonal and core collections from concept through delivery at Selection One LLC. I translate market and customer needs into production-ready designs, specifications, samples, and buyer presentations.

Across 15+ years in product design, I've worked directly with international factories on materials, finishes, quality, timelines, and approvals while creating artwork, packaging, photography, and showroom displays. My background spans wall art, mirrors, interior design, sourcing, and visual merchandising.
