Best-Selling Styles. Designed 3 of the brand's top 10 styles of the last 5 years, worth $6.4M in wholesale, each built on a silhouette that sell-through data showed customers were already buying and improved rather than replaced.
Adoption Rate. Reached a 68% sketch-to-line adoption rate by reviewing the previous 2 seasons of sell-through before sketching, so the line review became a conversation about which good ideas to buy rather than which weak ones to cut.
Digital Sampling. Introduced 3D garment simulation for first protos on knits and dresses, cutting physical sample rounds from 3 to 2 and letting fit and drape decisions happen before a factory made anything.

- Lead a design pod of 3 across dresses and knits within a design team of 12.
