About Me.

Dynamic leader with extensive experience driving growth across private and public retail organizations. Third-generation retail professional with early hands-on experience. My career began in luxury fashion in NYC working for Giorgio Armani and Barneys New York. Later, moving into lifestyle and home with companies, Calypso St. Barth, Anthropologie, Bed Bath & Beyond and One Kings Lane.

Especially skilled in omni-channel merchandising, brand strategy, and creative marketing. Recognized for curating and creating unique assortments that align with brand identity, and drive sustained business performance over time. Known for building trust and strong partnerships through a hands-on, collaborative leadership style, balancing creative vision with practical execution.

I hold a BA from The University of Iowa, and bring both curiosity and focus to every project I take on. I believe great ideas come from strong relationships—and I’m always looking for ways to create work that resonates and lasts.
