ROBERT BARAKETT : DESIGN DIRECTOR / PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
2019 - PRESENT Head of Creative direction in garment and textile design. Design team Manager.
This was the dream job that let me fully explore the world of Sportswear and apply a lot of my textile knowledge gained from Tailored experience and and apply it to the art of sportswear. In working directly with the titular ROBERT BARAKETT himself, I brought a whole new element of refined casual + dressy aesthetic to the brand. Clothes that feel like loungewear but look like dressy sportswear.

VINCE CAMUTO MENSWEAR : HEAD OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (Tailored and Sportswear)
HEAD OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - SPORTSWEAR
HEAD OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND HEAD DESIGNER - TAILORED
Graduating from PERRY ELLIS and ORIGINAL PENGUIN, Vince Camuto was a natural segue in my career into a full-fledged Product Development lead role.
This was a daunting, scary, exciting, time-strapped, rollercoaster of a ride. An absolutely incredible experience of working as a team to envision the Vince Camuto man, design a collection, and launch with a full Sportswear and Tailored collection. The entire project - from inception to completion, was finished in 5 months.
It may not be a Guinness World Book of Records achievement…but it feels like it should be.
