About

My 15 years of experience in the fashion & brand marketing have positioned me for success as a creative strategist, production supervisor, and brand project manager in the apparel, design, and marketing corporate world. I have worked as a brand consultant, content project manager, and wardrobe stylist, and had my own women's Ready-to-Wear collection. I've collaborated, managed, and brought forward the vision of clients and customers, always paying attention to trends, data analysis, sales targets, and customer experience, creating more revenue, clicks, and heightened brand awareness. I understand and move, actually run, with the ever-evolving brand audience. My keen eye for detail and calm curiosity allow me to go above and beyond and adapt to various situations. I have over a decade of experience forming and nurturing retail and wholesale relationships, both as a stylist and as owner of my own wholesale business. As a project manager, I took entire product leadership, cultivated the best environment to grow, and exceeded sales expectations. In all my roles, I've become well-versed in strategic planning and execution and in delivering projects and products under tight timelines and budgets. I thrive on creating and executing product plans while sourcing and procuring materials and equipment needed to produce quality products. I can manage all product development aspects, from conception to commercialization. I am a self-starter, highly motivated, and can work independently and as part of a team.
