I lead the digital experience for circularity at Patagonia, including trade-in and used gear integration across Patagonia.com. With over a decade in the apparel industry and a deep understanding of the full product lifecycle, I design thoughtful, commerce-driven experiences that make circular shopping more intuitive & impactful.
Selected Work
A selection of projects focused on circularity, product discovery, and size & fit. Each explores a different challenge in how people shop for clothing online, from integrating used gear to improving size recommendations and discovery.

Patagonia’s existing global navigation was due for a refresh. While functional, it wasn’t fully aligned with evolving customer behaviors or expectations, and certain high-value categories and stories were harder to discover than they should be.

Design Ethos
My design career began in apparel, where I developed a deep respect for materials, fit, and the impact of waste in the industry. That background still drives me. I care about how things are made, how they function, and how they last. I’m drawn to work that connects people to more thoughtful ways of consuming, and I design with that in mind.
