About

High-level design leader with deep experience across men’s, women’s, kids, and infant apparel within the advanced contemporary, outdoor, and sportswear lifestyle markets. Known for a thoughtful, end-to-end approach to building commercially strong collections — from initial concept through final execution — while balancing creative vision with sales insight, option planning, and strategic line edits. A resilient and adaptable innovator, I thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional environments and bring strength in managing multiple categories simultaneously. I am particularly passionate about identifying key brand drivers and elevating core product through purposeful design, performance-minded thinking, and a wearer-first mindset across all age groups. Throughout my career, I have successfully led overseas market research initiatives and partnered closely with global design, development, and production teams to drive operational efficiency and support revenue growth. I am a collaborative and people-focused leader who values mentorship and builds strong, lasting relationships across internal teams and external partners within the apparel and creative industries. Currently open to creative and product leadership opportunities in Germany.
