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”
This jacket is a modern take on a retro windbreaker. This style combines function and design with breathable mesh vents that provide airflow and bold colorblocked panels.
“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.
“Aimee”
A fresh update to an athletic, effortless layering piece, this cropped cardigan is made in a performance French terry fabrication and is ready to be mixed and matched with your favorite tees and dresses.
“Ember”
This performance pleated skort features jacquard knit tape hidden under the front pleats creating a pastel detail with a peak-a-boo effect when in motion. The inner shorts feature a tennis ball pocket for convenience on the court.

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.
S/S 2024 was one of my favorite seasons to design/work on during my time at Sergio Tacchini. More Womens product was introduced for this collection. 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 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. Garments from this collection were sold on Sergio Tacchini's e-commerce website, Nordstorm, Urban Outfitters, and others.
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:
Sergio Tacchini is a heritage tennis brand at heart. See some styles I designed/sketch for the Mens and Womens collections that can be worn both on and off the court.
The Foro capsule (seen at the top of this page) is one of my favorites. I designed/worked on these styles for Sergio Tacchini’s “Tennis Club Performance” line —featuring moisture-wicking fabric with a subtle stretch and perforated ventilation panels to keep you cool, on and off the court
This process started by sketching a performance-ready polo, t-shirt, and shorts with perforation details. Then, I created the perforation artwork on Illustrator. Scroll to see the process of placing the printed artwork on the garments. After rounds of strike-offs, protos, and multiple fittings—it’s really exciting to see the finished product
I am currently a Designer at Sergio Tacchini. There, I concept ideas, design and sketch technical flats for current/upcoming seasons. Manage material sourcing, build development techpacks, create/update CAD sketches, and ensure BOMs are accurate throughout bulk stages. I'm familiar with working cross-functionally with the Production team from sample development to production handoff to ensure accurate execution. I have worked with multiple product/fabric categories throughout my years of experience. The fabric categories include: knit (cut and sew), woven, sweaters (fully fashioned), seamless technology, and performance fabrics. In my current role, I work on all product categories for both the Mens and Womens collections. Overall, I work with the product throughout it’s entire lifecycle from initial concept to finished product.

During my time at Bagatelle, I was able to design for several retailers under multiple labels (Bagatelle, Avec Les Filles, Boston Proper, etc to name a few). Scroll below to see some of my designs that were/are available to shop! From shackets to faux leather moto jackets there are some fun pieces that I loved being a part of— from initial sketch to creating the final production techpack.
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.
