As well, below is a bit of a summary of my experience:
* For the past 20 months I have been working as a Chief Creative Officer for a large lingerie brand based in China. We launched our SS18 athleticwear collection to supplement the current brand offering with a focus on moulded, high support sports bras. The brand targets middle class, Chinese, millennial women. The brand has 300 stores throughout China as well as a thriving online business. (dongdongdada.world.tmall.com)
To summarize my experience:

* After leaving lululemon 6 years ago, I have been working as a freelance designer for a variety of swimwear, outerwear, intimates and activewear brands including:
* Girlfriend Collective (www.girlfriend.com/)
* Naked Underwear (www.wearnaked.com/)
* Sundried Athleticwear (www.sundried.com/)
* In 2015 I had the opportunity to work as a trend analyst for WGSN attending and reporting on the Outdoor Retailer and SnowSports Industries America trade shows.
* I was called upon to audit the Without Walls S15 collection for URBN, Inc. providing technical and design related feedback to the executive.
* Early in my design career I worked as a Lead Designer for Chip and Shannon Wilson’s innovation lab (lululemonlab.com/about/)where I managed a small group of junior designers, while facilitating a successful collaboration with local athletes and influencers in the cycling community and managing the rigorous design and development cycle of the store collection.
* I have experience designing and developing proprietary fabric technology, engineered warp knit, custom designed trims, prints and graphics as well as a strong background designing products that incorporate bonding, moulding, sonic welding, laser and die cutti
