Great products are built where creativity, technical expertise, and consumer insight come together. Throughout my career, I've developed a unique perspective by working across apparel design, product development, manufacturing, retail, and textile research—allowing me to see the product lifecycle from concept to consumer.
I bring experience translating ideas into thoughtfully designed, technically sound products through material selection, pattern development, prototyping, fit evaluation, technical problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. Whether improving product performance, exploring innovative materials, or refining manufacturing processes, I'm driven by creating products that are functional, meaningful, and built to last.
My professional experience in apparel manufacturing and product development is complemented by my ongoing Ph.D. studies in Apparel, Merchandising, and Design, where I specialize in textile science, functional apparel, sustainable product innovation, and digital product development technologies. This combination enables me to bridge creative design with analytical thinking—using research, testing, and user insights to make informed product decisions while keeping the consumer at the center of the process.
I enjoy working with designers, developers, sourcing teams, engineers, and manufacturing partners to solve complex challenges and bring innovative products to market. From apparel and soft goods to material innovation and digital fabrication, I thrive in collaborative environments where curiosity, continuous learning, and thoughtful design drive exceptional products.
As the apparel industry continues to evolve, I'm excited by opportunities to develop products that push the boundaries of performance, sustainability, and user experience while creating meaningful value for both brands and consumers.
