Portfolio
My work explores the intersection of textiles, color, and surface textures grounded in a foundation of design research, and story telling. With roots in textile design, I have created woven and print collections, later expanding into sourcing and developing materials across a broader range of products. Guided by trend, culture, and intuition, I create collections that balance beauty, function, and market relevance, inspired by global design influence, nature, and travel.
Textiles
A foundation in woven and print design, grounded in texture, design, and performance with a strong pulse on trend and competition. Creating textiles that resonate emotionally and translate to sellable, market-ready products.
Collaborations
I thrive in environments where ideas are shared and refined across disciplines. Working with designers, product teams, suppliers, and external partners to achieve thoughtful, well-executed results. These partnerships elevate both the creative process and the final product.

Surfaces
Surface design rooted in materiality and experience. Exploring wood and metal finishes, along with plastic color and opacity. Each decision is intentional, creating cohesion across products and touchpoints while elevating both form and function.
Color
Color informed by trend, research, and cultural context. From palette creation through merchandising, each decision contributes to a cohesive visual narrative and thoughtfully curated seasonal collections.
Interpreting global trend and color forecasts into refined, product specific palettes. Focusing on the most relevant, usable and commercially viable color stories.

Understanding how color directions shift from year to year, whether hues are warm, cool, softer or high intensity is essential to product development. By evaluating these shifts and their broader cultural context, I translate them into on trend color applications that keep collections fresh and relevant.
