I worked closely with lead designers and merchandisers creating graphics for seasonal collections.This
included developing allover repeat prints, color pallets, custom denim pocket embroideries, trims, tapings,
appliques, embelished tshirt graphics as well as screenprinted and sublimated sportswear hookups with a
wide rangeof vendors. I proved to be reliable and easy to work with through various changes in leadership
and management. By creating seasonal collections that felt true to the brand I oversaw the transition from a period of vintage selvage style True Religion graphics into an era of cleaner branding that intersects between contemporary streetwear and wearable high fashion.
