About
me
I started my career in textile design and have since expanded into product, trend & responsible design. I am passionate about creativity, community and sustainability. I love color, materials, artwork and sustainable product. I am excited by the starting phase of things, researching new ideas and trends. I enjoy leading & influencing teams of creatives & engineers. I would like to help businesses become more sustainable for people & planet and work with people who are looking to create a better tomorrow.
