At J.Crew Group, I manage retail woven development, bulk production, counter sourcing, vendor allocation, and calendars to keep deadlines on track.

I negotiate costs to meet AUC targets while maintaining design aesthetic, coordinate with design, technical, merchandising, planning, and testing teams, and resolve sourcing issues with overseas offices, factories, and suppliers. I also lead sample tracking, milestone preparation, product-duty reviews, and approval follow-up.

Previously, I managed men's knit and woven product development for Greg Norman Collection and developed hardline, softline, and wall décor products at Stratton Home Decor. My work included fabric and trim sourcing, development calendars, sample management, margin requirements, testing, compliance, and factory communication.

My background also includes production management at J.Crew, merchandising at Gilt Group, and design and production coordination at Faviana International.
