OUT TO CREATE A FEELING.
FOSSIL
WOMEN’S LEATHER DESIGN
AVONDALE
MY FIRST DESIGN AT FOSSIL
In 2022, I had the privilege to join the Leathers Design team at Fossil Group. When it came time to work on our 2023 Spring/ Summer collection, I saw a market trend for structured women’s crossbody bags.
The team graciously allowed me the opportunity to design into this silhouette. I combined the Fossil design language along with a minimalistic touch and elevation, and the Avondale Crossbody was born.
BLAIRE
THE EVERYDAY WOMEN’S BACKPACK
Launched for the Spring/ Summer Season of 2024, is the Blaire women’s backpack. Understanding that there is a demand for an everyday backpack that is functional yet elegant, I designed Blaire with practicality and comfort in mind.
The angled bottom panel allows the backpack to have a more dynamic appearance when worn. There is also a hidden slide pocket on the back, designed for secure phone storage.
2024 VALENTINE’S DAY COLLECTION
LENNOX HEART CROSSBODY & HEART KEYCHAIN
For the 2024 Valentine’s Day Collection, I created a Heart Shaped Pouch Keychain and redesigned our popular Lennox Small Crossbody bag to have a heart-shaped magnetic closure hardware.
I had the opportunity to work with our hardware suppliers to design the hardware involved with the Keychain and the Lennox bag. Perfecting the shape and functionality of the hardware pieces was an extremely rewarding experience.
FOSSIL x BARBIE
BARBIE CORVETTE-INSPIRED KEYCHAIN
I had the opportunity to work with the team at Mattel leading up to the Barbie movie’s release. Barbie’s pink Corvette is an iconic element of her world, and I proposed a Barbie Corvette-inspired keychain for the Fossil x Barbie collaboration.
The Corvette-inspired keychain features articulated wheels and raised graphic elements on the design casting. I also worked with the hardware supplier to ensure that the soldered-on eyelet can withstand substantial force and retain its strength.
