Design challenge was to create a compelling accessory collection with renewable, recyclable and/or recycled yarns.
This single classic weave can be tweaked and altered season after season, always creating a hit.
Capsule collection made in heaven! I directed the design and custom fabric creation of this American classic.
Stripes, skulls, dots, chains and plaid - just a sample of a few of the patterns I have worked on and created.
Working with the design team at Gore, I was able to poke and prod their process resulting in an award winning Embossed fabric.
Fun-n-fast color - new color trends each season specifically for the kiddos market.
Color stories are an important way to communicate a brand's vision to it's consumer.
Prints can make or break your collection. Design challenge each season was to stay ahead of the curve with creative, fun and colorful artwork.
Kids start out cold - then get hot. Layering is the perfect way to combat temperature variance.
Meeting the fit needs of each gender, as well as "growth features", is a design challenge I enjoy tackling.
Features are important no matter what the end use - creating innovative product for kids keeps a brand ahead of the crowd.
Flea market chic - I find design inspiration from my travels around the world. Great ideas usually come from the most unexpected places...
Women's specific design - outerwear, midlayer, baselayer, activewear and accessories.
Wool, waxed cotton, recycled nylon & PES, custom jacquards, weaves and knits.
How do you make modern layering, more functional, more desirable and more wearable?
The Design challenge; meet the fashion and fit needs of the consumer who wants winter warmth and street fashion with a splash of sex-appeal.
