From global fashion brands to founding a company rooted in the preservation of ancient craftsmanship, my work has always been guided by authenticity, purpose, and connection.
I’m a design and product leader, a mentor, and a mother. My perspective was shaped by generations of women in my family who taught me the art of garment-making, and refined through 20+ years leading design across global brands, startups, and independent ventures.
I believe the most compelling collections are rooted in narrative, culture, and lived experience—carrying something distinctly human: instinct, emotion, and the artist's hand. I embrace technology to amplify creativity, not replace it—using emerging tools to strengthen design communication, expand creative exploration, and bring ideas to life with greater clarity and intention, while preserving the human instinct and artistry at the heart of design.
Curiosity has always been central to how I approach design. I’m interested in the full journey of a product, from the initial sketch to the moment it finds its place in someone’s wardrobe. Understanding what resonates with customers, studying the data, and staying connected to the teams closest to the business all inform my perspective. It’s that intersection of creative intuition, human behavior, and commercial insight that continues to shape how I lead and design.
Above all, I believe in building teams connected by purpose, where individual perspectives are valued, and people take pride in what they create.
