I currently have ownership for design in the men's sweaters category of Kohl's private brand, Sonoma. I also assist our Associate Designer with Sonoma Men's Knit Tops.

Kohl's, Assistant Designer - Home/Living (2024-2025)  
During my time on the home team at Kohl's, I learned to work in OnePLM to request samples and create new styles within the program. I worked heavily in Adobe Illustrator to create tech pages that were sent to vendors to create samples. I also reviewed samples and worked with vendors to ensure our samples were production ready.

At Lands' End, I researched the brand's target market, competitors, and the upcoming trends. I used this research to create innovative designs for future seasons. I produced technical flat sketches and technical packets that were sent to our vendors. I was heavily involved with providing strategic feedback during fit sessions. My work at Lands' End included working in software applications like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Browzwear, IPLM, Miro, and Microsoft Excel.
