Sportswear Designer
I design products to inspire people to get outside in the natural world.
I combine active product use, experience, market knowledge and input from other Design Team members to create original and innovative designs. I manage and assist with the designs of other team members. I also attend conferences and tradeshows to conduct product testing and maintain consistency in outdoor industry trends, design changes and innovations.
