Apparel Designer | Illustrator | Creative Lead
I’m an apparel designer and graphic artist with 19+ years of experience creating graphics, prints, and apparel collections across action sports, streetwear, and lifestyle brands. Currently, I lead design at Vans for the Direct-to-Market Apparel division, where I’ve grown and mentored a team of designers, built exclusive capsules with key accounts, and pushed boundaries in printables, fit, and fabric innovation.
I bring an inventive, hands-on approach—shaped by roots in screen printing, offset production, and surf/skate culture—and combine it with a strategic eye for brand identity, storytelling, and market relevance. My portfolio spans men’s, women’s, and kids’ lines, with deep experience in graphics, print/pattern design, trims, and technical development.
Whether I’m building out seasonal mood boards, developing engineered sublimation prints, or aligning product with global merchandising strategy, my goal is always the same: to create work that’s thoughtful, expressive, and built to connect.
