I am fast and skilled in Adobe Illustrator. I have expertise in Athletic Apparel and Childrenswear. I have a passion for color and trend. I am an experienced designer with the ability to work under tight deadlines. I work well independently or in a group setting. I left a Design Director position at Nike in 2008 to get my Masters in Art Education so that I could teach design classes and freelance. I enjoy having a more flexible and diverse work schedule. I have over 20 years in the apparel industry, 12 in athletic apparel. I have worked on men's, women's and kids apparel and in a variety of sport, sportswear and swim categories. My strengths are the abilities to problem solve and work with little direction.
