I design commercially successful activewear and ready-to-wear collections from trend research through production.

At Beyond Yoga, part of Levi Strauss & Co., I designed the company’s #1 best-selling products and consistently ranked in the weekly top 10 best-selling styles. I owned activewear, woven bottoms, and dresses, supported the menswear relaunch, and led the Barre3 co-branded collection from concept through production.

I'm a product-obsessed fashion designer who turns global trend research into cohesive, commercially driven collections across activewear, lifestyle, lounge, maternity, menswear, and ready-to-wear. In my current contract role with E.S. Sutton, I lead private-label collections for Bala, partnering with leadership on product strategy, color palettes, CADs, merchandising, and presentations.
