Creative Direction & Apparel Design — Running, Training & Outerwear
I work with sport performance brands and licensed apparel teams who need more than execution — they need someone who understands how a product tells a story before anyone reads the hang tag.
My work sits at the intersection of function and identity. Running, training, and outerwear are demanding categories. Every silhouette carries a promise. Every colorway signals belonging. I bring the design discipline and category depth to make those decisions intentional.
What I do:
Creative direction from concept through delivery. Seasonal product narratives, collection architecture, colorway strategy, graphic language, and brand worldbuilding for sport performance lines. I've worked across licensed and unlicensed product — from team uniforms to retail collections — with a consistent focus on elevating how sport brands communicate through what they make.
Who I work with:
Brands building something with conviction. Emerging performance labels, licensed sport programs, and established teams who want their product to feel as considered as it performs.
The result:
Product that earns loyalty. Collections with a point of view. Creative systems your team can build on.

Available for project engagements and ongoing creative retainers.
