Accessories has always been the perfect arena to combine my passion for fashion trends, materials and design. I’ve always been mad about bags!
As Director of accessories I've been responsible for women’s handbags and small leather goods, men's bags, luggage, sports bags, scarves, hats, gloves, belts, eyewear and fashion footwear. I brought innovative collections and new constructions to the portfolio by being a creative problem solver, defining brand strategy, positioning and look for accessories. I excel at envisioning and communicating creative concepts, interdisciplinary collaboration, inspiring, leading and aligning people and resources around the vision. Leading the product creation process from global market research, trend direction and concept through production. Expert in defining products with broad consumer appeal, creating on-trend, yet timeless, accessories collections that differentiate through unique shape, textile and leather stories.
In 2009 I founded “Noe”, a contemporary artisan handbag brand, collaborating with global artisans to re-contextualize traditional motifs and textile techniques including hand embroidery & stamped leather into women’s bags. Noe was distributed in international boutiques until 2014.
