ABOUT
about

It all started with a visual merchandising internship - It was fascinating, and I was hooked. Looking back, I have always enjoyed planning, designing, and executing projects based on an initial idea.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various positions completing countless projects. These experiences have provided me a broad skill set and years of industry experience.

As the Director of Store Design and Planning at LAFAYETTE 148, I reorganized the internal and external teams/processes to align with the company's expansion strategy. I influenced change and achieved a more efficient, transparent, and collaborative store development process.

At LACOSTE, I developed and executed system changes in the project lifecycle - improved communication, decreased schedules, and lowered costs, which allowed us to open projects on time and under budget. These processes also helped me overcome the challenges of 2020/21 brought about by COVID, and I continued to open projects on time and within budget.

GANTER INTERIOR is one of the world's leading shop-fitting and fit-out companies, and I was responsible for a team of Project Managers and Technical Designers. From the initial concept, we managed the process to the final execution. I enjoyed the business from the supplier side, helping our clients find solutions.

I spent over 17 years at HUGO BOSS. Throughout my tenure, I was responsible for visual merchandising, store planning, real estate, and construction. During this time, I developed strategies and processes, allowing us to execute hundreds of projects in multiple business channels worth millions of dollars.
