Role: Brand Manager

DURATION: Sept 2021 – Current

BRAND: The Dave & Jenny Marrs Collaboration with Better Homes & Gardens

Spring 2023: Home Line

November 2021 – September 2022

My first season leading the design process, from vision to design to production. Here I found my natural talent in creating high-level vision for the brand’s DNA, setting the foundation & imparting the building blocks needed by my team for success. I enjoyed the team dynamics in mentoring & leading the design team to create new product based on this unifying vision while also anticipating market changes for the upcoming season’s direction.
