What I'm looking for

I seek a creative role where I lead jewelry design, influence trend direction, collaborate with manufacturers, and launch cohesive collections.

I am a dynamic, creative senior jewelry designer with over ten years of experience designing for high-end designer lines, mass-market retailers, specialty accounts, and home shopping networks. I combine in-depth knowledge of jewelry manufacturing with a strong passion for trend analysis, product design, and technical rendering to take concepts from ideation to production.

As a leader, I have guided design teams, presented monthly trend direction and market analysis, and collaborated with domestic and overseas manufacturers and in-house model makers to execute collections for notable accounts and launches. I produce detailed illustrations and specifications, manage project planning, and consistently deliver cohesive collections that align with broader fashion accessories teams.
