S R

I’m a Designer with a strong focus on color, print, and product storytelling. My work lives at the intersection of creativity and execution, with an emphasis on building cohesive, commercially strong collections.

I bring a strong instinct for color and trends, paired with a hands-on approach to development, from research and concept development to tech packs, inspiring color palettes, and working directly with mills on strike-offs and approvals.
