About
I am a Design Director with 10+ years of experience in the home industry, developing housewares products across all product categories for the world’s largest retailers in furniture, lighting, textiles, and more. With a background in furniture design, I lead product development teams that aim to pair creativity with business acumen. I partner with brands to create growth strategies, develop cohesive aesthetics, and create seasonal concepts that align with their core values, business goals, and merchandising strategies. I believe that creative leadership and cross functional collaboration are both key attributes to launching cohesive and thoughtful product assortments.
