As a Colorado native, I left the Rockies for the Big Apple to pursue a career in the exciting world of fashion. Here, I have been working in the apparel industry creating outerwear, swimwear and active apparel for juniors, missy, plus size and maternity. When I'm not in the office, I co-run a small event planning business creating custom invitations and events. My hobbies include traveling, gardening, cooking, Zumba. and cheering on my dare-devil husband at his skydiving competitions. I have excellent Illustrator and Photoshop skills. I'm experienced in creating lines from concept to production including color cards, tech packs, CAD’s, prints, logos, hangtags and labels. I have extensive experience in brand management and launching new lines. I strive to create innovative, cost-effective designs to strengthen the brand image and maintain a competitive edge. As a critical thought leader, I am comfortable with fast paced environments and tight deadlines. I strive to build long lasting relationships and work effectively with all departments to create a beautiful, great-selling product.
