For a large portion of my career, the designer jobs I held also required a considerable amount of product development and production skills for several apparel categories including denim, bottoms, plus sizes, knit tops, sweaters, active and graphics. I not only worked on designing the styles, but I had to figure out where they would be produced for the best cost while delivering the most ideal product. I found each apparel category had its own set of niceties and challenges that made working on it new and exciting.

​

While I like working on range of apparel categories, there is a special place in my heart for denim jeans. I started working on denim in the early 2000s during the denim revival and found a real passion for everything denim. From 2007 to 2019, I exclusively designed the maternity denim brand Indigo Blue sold in Motherhood and Destination Maternity stores. I traveled in the US, Asia and Central America to work with mills, factories and laundries to design and manufacture the best line for retail.

​

I am currently on the search for my next design, product development or production opportunity to build my career. I am enthusiastic about finding a job that will utilize the skills and knowledge I have developed while being challenged with new tasks and responsibilities. I am excited about this upcoming year and what the future holds.
