Growing up in the Southwest, I was surrounded by a vibrant desert landscape and blue skies that stretched for miles. On the weekends, I helped my mom, a jewelry designer, sell her unique creations at the Tesuque Flea Market in Santa Fe. Between customers, I often wandered from tent to tent, inspired by both local and international artisans and crafters. In college, I studied art, English, and fashion, teaching and living abroad in Bordeaux, France for three years. When I’m not designing, I love to spend my time outdoors—photographing flowers, peak bagging, biking, kayaking, and x-country skiing.
As the Womens Wovens Designer at Pendleton, I had the joy of designing silhouettes that were infused with patterns and colors reminiscent of my childhood. The clothing was brought to life in soft, breathable, natural wool—an eco-friendly fiber that is woven right here in the Pacific Northwest. Before that, I worked in the denim private label industry for four years in LA, creating jeans in all washes of black and indigo. I am currently an Associate Designer on the Nike Catalyst (formerly NikeLabs) team, working on exciting collaboration projects with Supreme, Ambush, Undercover, Kim Jones, Jacquemus, and Drake’s NOCTA line.
I have 10.5 years of combined experience in denim, sportswear, and activewear design for the Juniors’, Men’s, and Women’s Contemporary markets. I love solving creative problems, especially while basking in a sunlit window.
