I’m a lead apparel designer with extensive experience in sports-licensed collaborations and fashion inline collections. I’ve led art direction and executed concepts, pitch decks, and final go-to-market designs across three-way Brand × Talent × League partnerships.
My work spans Spring 2022 through Fall 2025 licensed inline collections for NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and MLS, with a focus on graphics that translate cleanly from concept through production.
I began my career at Fourstar Distribution (C1RCA, FOURSTAR, Special Blend, Forum), where exposure to the design department sparked my path into apparel design. I taught myself Adobe tools, entered the screen-printing world, and spent six years as a color separator and digitizer — building a strong foundation in print, production, and technical execution.
I later attended FIDM, interned at Volcom, and joined New Era, where I spent 12 years as a product designer leading licensed and collaborative programs. During lockdown, I continued designing high-volume merchandise for major digital creators before moving into my current role at Mitchell & Ness..
Thank you for taking the time to review my work.
