Drinking coffee and working as part of a fast paced product development team is where I belong. I loved every crazy bit of my assistant product design position I recently held in Columbus, Ohio as a home, thermal and utility designer. As an assistant designer I co-managed three categories for the 17th largest direct selling company in the world. In addition to my core design deliverables, I was responsible for managing our R & D libraries and global trend presentations. We managed product design from concept to tech hand off, including sketching and creation of tech packs and bill of materials. I worked closely with PD, tech and merchant cross-functional teams on a daily basis and cherish the partnerships that were formed.
With my design education and varied work experience, my interest lies in long-term growth with an amazing Product Development team. I am passionate about product design and development. I have a demonstrated talent to work well with others to achieve a common goal. I am curious and love a challenge!
