  • About

    I offer freelance design services that include concept and trend work, style design and assortment planning, spec writing, and fittings. My background is in the athletic apparel industry, and I enjoy a good technical challenge or trying to develop new constructions to solve problems. I am also interested in adapting performance fabrics for beautiful uses rather than performance alone. As a life-long learner, I am continuing to explore distance collaboration opportunities and technology and expand my knowledge of e-textiles.
