Mens Specialized

In the Specialized department, I serve as the full owner of all print and pattern development. Throughout my Nordstrom career, this has been my core focus — a space where I’ve grown, taken on increasing responsibility, and shaped the print direction for our product categories.
I collaborate closely with the Concept Team to conduct early seasonal research and translate initial trend direction into a cohesive print strategy. I lead market research, review and interpret line plans, participate in slotting meetings, and ensure our seasonal print offering is both trend‑relevant and commercially aligned. My work includes designing all plaids, prints, patterns, and print packs, as well as developing full colorways for each.
Print ownership within Specialized is truly my passion. It’s a body of work I’ve nurtured over the course of my time here — this team feels like home, and this specialty is my creative “baby.”
