S/S 2025 was my final collection I worked on during my time at Sergio Tacchini. For Spring 2025, I worked exclusively on the Womenswear team, except for a few trims and updating the classic Damarindo tracksuit for mens. I truly worked from initial sketch to finished product. I conducted market research, researched new collection themes/ideas and sketched new technical flat designs, techpacked styles, facilitated the lab-dip/knit down approval process, emailed/communicated with our oversea factories on a daily basis, designed new trims as needed, and then worked through the production stages once the styles were officially adopted for bulk. I updated BOMs and ensured they were updated throughout each stage and also attended fittings and communicated with the factories all of the necessary changes to ensure the initial design intent was met for each garment.

My favorite pieces from this collection are the “Idalia”performance set and anything in the “Colonna” group. They are classically Italian chic but are still performance pieces, helping you be bold on and off the court! Shop this collection now!

Here I’m showcasing Garb’s two newest golf collections for SS25. The first collection is titled “Palm Springs.” The collection name came to be after I researched to see which city the Arnold Palmer beverage originated from. When Arnold Palmer was designing a course in the Palm Springs area, he first ordered the lemonade/iced tea mixture during lunch there. I also think the colors match the Palm Springs retro aesthetic, plus the drink prints use all of the colors in the boys/girls palettes to tie the entire collection together  (There is a pink lemonade print for the girls and an Arnold Palmer (iced tea & lemonade)  print for the boys.)

Then, Garb’s newest installment for Summer ‘25 is inspired by the famous port town on the Italian Rivera, Portofino. The bold color palette for the girls’ collection was inspired by the rich, colorful architecture, and in contrast, the boys’ collection features blue hues—together encompassing the vibrant landscape view of the coastal town. The Portofino Collection captures the “la dolce vita” spirit and encourages a leisurely approach to life, packed with pieces to be worn on and off the green.

“Palm Springs” is available now!

“Portofino” will be available to shop 10/1/25.

This is my first Golf collection as Senior Designer for Garb Inc, titled “St. Tropez.” Garb is a youth apparel company that specializes in golf/performance apparel, sizing is 3M infant all the way to Youth XL/Teen sizing. I managed the product development throughout the full product life cycle, from initial concept to final delivery. I ideated the concept for the collection, selected the color palette, sketched all technical flats, created all techpacks, advised factory comments from proto to PP stage, advised all development specs and graded production specs from youth—infant sizing, and advised all production design/fit comments.

Golf 2025 “St. Tropez” Collection Description: Inspired by the finer things in life, Garb’s “St. Tropez” Spring 25 Collection transports you to tee time in the South of France. The soft Mediterranean-influenced pastel color palette combined with classic patterns and nature-inspired prints brings a bit of whimsy to a preppy aesthetic. This collection encourages you to stay in an island state of mind with apparel designed for performance & made to work with you, so you can focus on the view. 

A few key styles to highlight:

Boys Styles:

“Bryant”
Remixing a classic, this enlarged houndstooth patterned polo is going to be a course favorite. It features contrast piping at the collar for a polish, yet playful look.

“Axel”
This golf tee-printed polo is made in a breathable fabrication with UPF 50+ and features a sunglasses/golf tee holder as a practical detail for your next round. 

“Woods”

“Jack”
This style is all about pattern play. Mixing up a classic button-down polo with large scale stripes on the body and smaller stripes on the sleeve.

 Girls Styles:

“Pixie”
This dress is a hole-in-one. This pink and white mixed media silhouette has pockets and a contrast drawcord. It is made in a lightweight, comfortable material that can be worn on and off the course.

My first three collections as Senior Designer at Garb Inc debuted at Denver Fashion Week in November 2024. I helped cast the models for the event, select the runway music for Garb’s show, and style all eighteen looks. The show was broken down into three sections, which mimics 3 divisions of Garb’s business—Golf, Collegiate/Teams, (where Garb holds collegiate licensing to do College Teams branded apparel) and Resort. Each section showcased 6 looks. Click to scroll through the below images and enjoy :)

Sharing a few highlights from my work on the Sergio Tacchini Fall 2024 collection. I think my favorite piece I’ve designed to date is the “Ruota Cycling Jersey” that features classic cycling pockets at the back! I truly worked from initial sketch to finished product. I ideated collection themes and sketched new designs, techpacked styles, owned the lab-dip/knit down approval process, emailed/communicated with our oversea factories on a daily basis, and then worked with the samples from the 1st proto stage, SMS, and then to bulk. I updated BOMs and ensured they were updated throughout each stage and also attended fittings and communicated with the factories all of the necessary changes to ensure the initial design intent was met for each garment. Garments from this collection were sold on Sergio Tacchini's e-commerce website, Urban Outfitters, and others.

I truly worked from initial sketch to finished product.

I have been a Digital Stylist at Fashivly, Hey Luka (menswear), and Allume. I am sharing a Fashivly project that showcases five looks I put together for one of my clients.

I was also an Online Personal Menswear Stylist. In that role, I reviewed client’s quizzes then shopped from various brands to find pieces that match their aesthetic and lifestyles. I styled overall outfits to present to the client. As a stylist I love figuring out ways to articulate someone’s personality through clothing. Here are a few examples of outfit collage boards and descriptions I’ve created:

I was a remote Freelance CAD Designer for a L.A. based athleisure brand called SET Active. I drew garment technical flats for them based on their existing products or new samples when they arrived. With those technical flats, I illustrated multiple colorways and created linesheets and presentation boards for the brand.

This section highlights outerwear products I have designed and techpacked. The first onion-quilted coat was designed for Nordstrom NPG under the Avec Les Filles label.

Then if you scroll further down— I show how a mood board I created can be translated into technical flats and CADs that would ultimately be techpacked.
