I had an interest in art and design at an early age. From filling shoeboxes with my cut out sketches as a child to cutting up my dickies into skirts and making my own screen prints as a teenager, I’ve loved creating my whole life. To this day if I’m not building color direction and palettes, you will find me sketching, sewing, or making music.

After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, I began my career as a denim designer in the action sports industry. I later designed denim at Levi’s in San Francisco followed by Current/Elliott in DTLA. After living in LA I found myself moving up the West Coast where I spent 7 1/2 years on the Mens Lifestyle Apparel Color Design team at Nike.

I currently reside in Southern California leading Global Color Direction for Footwear & Apparel at Vans in Costa Mesa.
