I am a multidisciplinary fashion and product designer specializing in childrenswear, pet apparel, and accessories, juniors, and womenswear with a strong focus on illustration-driven design, surface pattern prints, and end-to-end product development. My work blends playful storytelling with commercial strategy, creating thoughtfully designed apparel, accessories, and giftable products for kids, pets, juniors and lifestyle brands.
​
With over 20 years of industry experience, I develop original surface pattern designs, graphics, and collections for apparel, plush, accessories, and licensed product, guiding concepts from trend research and sketching through tech packs, production, and go-to-market execution. My design approach balances creativity, functionality, and market relevance, delivering products that are both emotionally engaging and production-ready.

Whether collaborating with brands, licensors, or startups, I bring a strong understanding of children’s fashion, pet fashion, textiles, prints, juniors lifestyle trends, color, and materials, paired with hands-on expertise in product development, vendor communication, and seasonal line building.
