Hi!

I am a driven creative professional with 14 years of experience in the accessories industry. Growing up in Michigan, I always dreamt of moving to New York City in pursuit of a career in fashion. Following my education at Parsons School of Design, I first gained experience as a handbag designer at Coach.  Through exploring hardware design within the Coach handbag team, I realized a love for the world of jewelry and hard accessories. I have continued to foster and grow that passion at companies such as Kate Spade New York and Stella & Dot, focusing in jewelry and accessories design.

I believe the best part of design is that it is never truly finished. It is an ever-present puzzle we as designers are constantly attempting to solve. These problems could be determining a specific product need, analyzing the best technical solutions for making each style, or figuring out the most effective ad efficient ways to bring the product to our customers.

My designs are both aesthetically pleasing and extremely detail-oriented. I love to incorporate innovative material and techniques to all projects I work on, always keeping in mind the end customer and what will make them feel confident, capable, and beautiful.

The drive to creatively find solutions for day-to-day and big picture questions, along with my desire to consistently grow as a designer has allowed me to deliver fresh and innovative product season after season.
