Designer & Production Director
I design from concept to physical reality — retail environments, luxury print, and branded experiences that live in the world.
View selected work →Full retail concept for Vivobarefoot's flagship store on Neal Street, London. Developed biophilic spatial strategy, customer flow mapping, CNC fixture design, and detailed Rhino 3D renders across all zones — exterior facade, footwear walls, fit station, cashdesk, and moss wall feature. Concept built by APG Architecture.
Scope
Designed and coordinated fabrication of a custom branded retail fixture for Salomon. Developed 3D models in Rhino 7, collaborated with in-house engineers to refine structural details, and managed external vendors through to physical delivery.
Disciplines
I'm a Seattle-based designer with a B.S. in Industrial Design from the University of Washington. My work spans two distinct but connected disciplines: retail spatial design and luxury print production.
At Built Design, I developed retail concepts for international brands — from spatial strategy and Rhino 3D modeling to fixture design and vendor coordination. At Chloe Clarke, I execute multi-technique print suites with precision across the full production pipeline.
What connects both: I take a concept from brief to physical object, and I know exactly what happens in between.
