    My Story

    With years of experience ranging from fashion to tech, I’ve evolved from designing products to directing the creative show. At Politis Design, I lead everything from brand identity and website creation to eCommerce strategy, working with clients like MunnWorks and Booty by Brabants. Before this, I drove creative projects for brands like Kenneth Cole, BCBG, and Avon, where I launched a jewelry line that hit $11 million in its first year!

    I’m all about capturing the heart of a brand and making sure it shines across every platform. I’ve worked with big brands, managed boutique clients, and thrived in large organizations—so whether it’s a scrappy startup or a corporate giant, I know how to dial in what works. I build strong teams, craft clear efficient plans, and keep projects on track, making the process smooth and stress-free for clients and stakeholders. I understand you have busy schedules and tight deadlines, so my goal is to make every creative journey effortless, productive, and ultimately a joyful experience.

    My Journey

    PolitisDesign Inc.

    At Politis Design, I’ve been wearing all the creative hats as Creative Manager & Consultant since 2013, blending visionary direction with meticulous project management. From crafting unforgettable brand identities and seamless websites to spearheading strategy sessions and eCommerce solutions. I lead every step of the way—hosting meetings, setting goals, tracking deliverables, and even wrangling contract staff to bring ideas to life. With a client roster as diverse as MunnWorks, Booty by Brabants, and Gleenr, I’ve mastered the art of balancing creativity with business savvy. Whether brainstorming with clients, managing deliverables, or finessing proposals, I thrive on making bold ideas happen!

    Avon Products Inc.

    As Senior Design Manager for Avon’s Global Jewelry & Watches, I turned sparkle into strategy, leading the design and development of a jaw-dropping 400 SKUs per quarter. My crowning achievement? Launching a global collection that raked in $11 million in its first year! I juggled creative teams, global stakeholders, and manufacturers like a pro, streamlining supply chains and balancing aesthetics with razor-sharp cost targets. From directing product photoshoots to shaping trend presentations, I was the go-to for making Avon’s accessories dazzle. Oh, and those campaigns you loved? I helped bring them to life, proving that premium design and high-impact storytelling go hand in hand.

    Geneva Watch Group

    As Director of Design & Product Development at Geneva Watch Group, I kept time ticking in style! Leading the creative charge for brands like Kenneth Cole New York and BCBG Max Azria, I managed design teams and overseas manufacturing to craft collections that wowed. My knack for trends drove a company-wide roadmap initiative that sharpened brand identities while ensuring each line had its own signature flair. From sleek showroom displays to dynamic seasonal presentations, I brought stories to life, all while keeping a sharp eye on margins and negotiations. Think of me as the behind-the-scenes maestro of timeless design!
