As a designer, it's important to be a storyteller, but it is equally important to discover, build, and grow the collection while bringing your customer along for the journey.
After obtaining my undergraduate degree in Apparel, Merchandise & Design from Iowa State University with a minor in Design Studies, my career quickly focused on the Southern California activewear industry getting a jump start designing for Obey and later specializing in lifestyle golf apparel and accessories for AG Green Label and Travis Mathew. My career evolved in the contemporary space, designing fashion forward men's ready-to-wear for companies like Rails and Paige where I've stepped into leadership roles committed to innovation, product integrity, and executing on the design philosophy. Later I took a position at Skechers helping grow the Men's and Women's apparel division on a global platform. Iām currently with Linksoul pushing the creative boundaries and fostering our Green Grass accounts.
