J.Crew

Senior Designer - Women’s Denim and Woven Washed Product
July 2008-November 2009

Designed and developed washed product categories that complemented seasonal concepts and hit marketing and merchandising targets. Woven washed categories included all washed outerwear, dresses, shirts, skirts, basic and novelty woven bottoms, and denim. I managed the calendar, budget, cross-functional communication, and presentations to the executive team. I gained extensive knowledge of wet and dry denim processing through several trips to domestic wash laundries and development projects throughout Los Angeles and Mexico. I had the good fortune to attend two "Denim College" sessions in Cone, North Carolina.

I designed the best-selling classic waxed jacket that J. Crew re-ran for over ten years.
