Product is my passion.
I am a merchandising and product development expert with over 15 years of experience in the home decor, tabletop, textiles, furniture and fragrance industries.
My expertise is a result of dual experiences: I started my career in product development then shifted into merchandising, giving me a holistic view of the industry. I have sourced and developed products in just about every material and category, and I’ve managed multi-million dollar businesses for major retailers as well as smaller design-driven companies. As a result, I know and understand best practices while also recognizing that there are many ways to solve a problem.
I am excellent at finding solutions to meet a company where they are, and I have a deep network of strong relationships with makers, vendors and other industry experts to collaborate with. If you’re looking to create interesting product but don’t know where to start, I would love to help.
