I am the founder, creative director, and art director of Chamberlin New York. I have over 5 years of experience leading 360 degree campaigns for digital, retail, and editorial platforms. I specialized in concept development, photo and video production, and translating brand identify into cohesive, omni-channel storytelling. My experience spans the full lifecycle of the garment, from design/production, campaign development, to logistics & fulfillment. This allows me to collaborate effectively across creative, production, and business teams with a view.
Alongside my art direction work, I have developed a strong foundation in apparel design and product development with experience across the full design lifecycle. I am skilled in fashion sketching, CAD development, material sourcing, manufacturer communication, and production coordination, with hands-on experience designing across categories including leather, denim, and knitwear. I especially enjoy developing knitted sweaters, where storytelling, texture, and silhouette can come together to create pieces that feel both emotionally resonant and visually distinct.
I also have experience developing and executing brand events designed to strengthen community engagement and expand brand visibility. My involvement has included creative concepting, venue coordination, experiential planning, production oversight, staffing, and on-site direction for launches, pop-ups, fashion presentations, and large-scale events. Projects I have worked on include producing a senior year fashion show, hosting two charity basketball tournaments, and participating in multiple fashion shows internationally, including an event in Saint-Tropez.
I am a two-time FGI Rising Stars finalist and have been featured in over 20 publications, including Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) and Fashionista. I received a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising from Marist University, where I developed a strong understanding of branding, product development, and the business of fashion, while also gaining professional experience through internships with Authentic Brands Group and I Love Produce focused on trend analysis, B2B marketing, trade show preparation, email campaigns, and brand strategy initiatives.
