Whether the result is clothing, accessories, furniture, or an institutional space, brand creation is such a human and exciting process, and assisting founders in bringing ideas to life is what I'm most passionate about. From building a cohesive vision to overseeing its embodiment as a product—obsessing over every detail and thriving on problem-solving along the way—I've come to handle both branding and product design, two roles usually kept separate in large companies.

I believe product design is only great when it stays true to its brand philosophy. My approach mixes strategic thinking with hands-on execution to ensure that vital connection is never lost on the long road of production processes and compromises. I'm equally comfortable developing brand strategy with stakeholders as I am sourcing fabrics in Italy, directing on-location photoshoots, or working out a granular adjustment with a technician on a factory floor.

Over the past two decades, I've created three brands from scratch—Adam Kimmel, FEIT, and Larimer—and helped transform WeWork during its global expansion. I'm looking for opportunities where I can shape not just how something looks, but what it stands for and how it functions in the world.
