About
My 5+ years at Staples Inc. has allowed me to work on a variety of own brand initiatives from co-branded licensing to leading seasonal product development for over 250+ products that span multiple categories/manufacturing processes. As a member of small team I have been engaged in all stages within the design process from research & concept generation to final factory sample reviews. My passion for design extends into art as well, in which I experiment with the subject of semiotics through analogue collage & assemblage.
