With eight years of design experience, I have cultivated a diverse skill set encompassing creative direction and industrial & product design. My career has been marked by a commitment to innovation, problem-solving, and effective visual communication, making me a valuable asset to any creative team.
As the founder of my design brand, Started From One, I spearhead creative direction and collaborate with other professionals to develop solutions that address brand vision. This role has allowed me to engage with all aspects of the idea-to-consumer pipeline, from ideation, sketching, prototyping, and production to storyboarding, marketing asset generation, & brand experiences.
As a Footwear Designer at Shoe Surgeon, I created innovative design solutions across various footwear categories, emphasizing storytelling and material understanding. My self-motivation and collaborative approach enabled me to lead client projects and product development teams and deliver high-quality designs that fit brand standards.
As a Footwear Design Intern at TOMS Shoes, I proposed footwear design concepts targeted at Gen-Z consumers, working closely with experienced designers and the product team on seasonal materials and color stories. I later advanced to Associate Designer at TOMS, where I continued developing design concepts, focusing on seasonal relevance and collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet brand objectives.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design and an Associate of Arts in Graphic Design, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in design and technical skills. Proficient in tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, CAD, rapid prototyping, and sampling, I am dedicated to creating innovative design solutions that meet company objectives & market demands.
