    Hello!

    For the last 12 years I've served as a multidisciplinary designer for Triple Aught Design. I've designed and developed everything from backpacks and accessories, outerwear and created a vast suite of graphic language and illustrations.

    As a freelance designer, I appreciate the challenge of diversity in each design problem I encounter. From design brief to launch, my process begins with a sketch and takes shape with sample sewing to get the client’s needs to a viable solution.
