I partnered with the Jonathan Adler design team to produce a Jonathan Adler Makeup Collection within the Clinique Budget and manufacturing capabilities. Certain strategic products were chosen by Clinique marketing to be decorated. I coordinated approvals with the Jonathan Adler Team of the way their patterns were applied the Clinique product and packaging. In addition I reviewed packaging submissions for production to ensure color and quality consistency despite of having many different manufacturers.

Over the years I have managed the development and design of many designer partnerships including Marimekko, Kapitza, Vera, Milly, Trina Turk, Tracy Reese, Lulu DK, Lakwena, Georgia Perry, and Betty Jackson.

Designed global promotional and special events programs including primary and secondary packaging, patterns for cosmetic bags, cartons, and accessories generating approximately 26% of the overall brand revenue.

A “Purchase with Purchase” offering starting early summer to generate business. In general the offering included a “Purchase with Purchase” tote bag for key retailers, a smaller cosmetic bag for smaller retailers, kits for purchase, and accessories.

Below are examples of early concepts as well as final production.

Photo frame concepts for Umbra. Nambe table top Solidworks renderings. KYO sneaker sole concept. Molded chair concept for Capellini. Umbra message board concept. Karim icon concepts. Method soap. Madison Avenue BID logo and early concepts. Umbra dish rack. Dove. Pantone backpack. Wolf Gordon wallpaper colorways.

Worked with the SM Grotell company owner to design a line of luxury cocktail watches for Tiffany & Co. This included researching Art Deco style, building designs of the watch body and clock face in Solidworks, creating presentation renderings, and creating technical drawings for production in Switzerland.

I also developed new watch concepts and illustrator renderings for David Yurman inspired by successful jewelry pieces in their existing collection.
