THE DESIGN PERSPECTIVE

Form.Function.Feeling.

Silhouette gives a collection its shape.
Material gives it purpose.
Identity makes it belong.

My work connects all three.

A designer’s eye.
A director’s perspective.

I’m a creative and design director with 25 years of experience in menswear, lifestyle sportswear and outerwear. I’ve worked with adidas, Timberland, Mexx and Xtep.

From seasonal direction to silhouette, colour, materials and collection development, I bring a clear point of view to the work and the teams behind it.

The work has carried commercial weight. At Xtep I led a 30-person design team as the Lifestyle division grew from RMB 2.1 billion to a peak of RMB 4.39 billion. At Timberland, category revenue grew from USD 85 million to USD 120 million. At Mexx, menswear turnover grew from EUR 155 million to EUR 280 million.
