Director of Merchandising 

I am currently an Associate Buyer for Urban Outfitters managing Men's graphic and basic tee businesses. I have a passion for creating unique product, empowering upcoming brands, and collaborating with artists from all over. I've worked in fashion since I was 18, starting a small scale streetwear brand that began with tee shirts and has since grown to include full cut and sew collections. I have an eye for product and am experienced in brand building, production, money management, and the many sides of growing a business. 

When I was 18 I started making t-shirts with one of my good friends. Over the past couple of years, it has grown into something much larger. We now own and operate a men’s street wear label. It has taught me how to run a business from the ground up. We are currently doing small batch orders of cut and sew pieces and selling them through our online website and select retailers.

Men's and Home Department Manager

I partnered with an avid writer and fan of Hunter S. Thompson to help curate merchandise for a festival dedicated to the late author in Louisville, Ky. Several thousand people would come from all over the world to celebrate the life of the infamous writer with an eccentric array of events. My job was to help connect the people who ran the festival with services necessary to merchandise the festival. Once connected, I was in charge of determining what designs would be used, what they be used on and the quantity of products made. I was in contact with Ralph Steadman, a well renowned artist, who kindly worked with us to curate the designs. Once the festival was underway I was there to set up and help distribute the gear.
