I’m a hopelessly restless twenty-something designer on an endless search for the next adventure. My background is in apparel and accessory design, graphic and textiles.

 

Here’s a brief history of who I am, what I do, and why we should connect. I grew up in a small rural town in Indiana, raised by two non-creatives that decided it would be OK to let their oldest pursue a seemingly impractical career. I ended up attending The Art Institute, I declared as a Fashion Design major when I found myself going out of my way to create new sustainable, durable fashions. I annoyed the heck out of my fellow classmates, doing way more work than assignments generally called for, but it all paid off in the end.

 

In 2016, I received my B.A. and landed a job as a assistant designer for Renfro Corp in New York City where I designed hosiery for Kohl’s, Target and Walmart. Later on I was promoted as the head designer for CHAPS and associate designer for women's, men's, kids and outdoor for Ralph Lauren hosiery lines. Today, I am the Associate Designer, Soft Accessories for Tommy Hilfiger where I design hosiery, hats, scarfs, gloves and handbags. At this point in my career, I’m extremely passionate about the outdoors and want to expand my skills in the outdoor apparel industry.

 

When I’m not working on fun projects, you can find me on the trail, hiking up a mountain and removing trash along the way.
