About
I am a creative Product & Textile Designer (retail) specializing in original graphics and print and pattern with experience in NYC and San Diego. I am currently a freelance designer in the retail industry. Toys I've worked on can be seen at Petsmart, Petco, Walmart, and other retailers. My experience ranges from mid-tier to high-end fashion, graphics, plush toys, molded items, licensing, and home textiles. My art has been purchased by companies like OshKosh B'gosh, Clinique, Hanna Andersson, Gap, Target, Kohl's, Tommy Hilfiger, Old Navy, Hartstrings, Carters, Timeless Treasures, and Mytex bedding with a print studio. I have also worked in house as a Textile CAD and product designer for OshKosh B'gosh/Carters and Petco. Specialties are sleep print and pattern, kids, pets, softlines. I especially enjoy HUMOR, whimsy, & color in design. I love to design for kids and families. It has been a joy to see products and designs I've worked on out in the world!
