Hi! My name is Shannon. I am a New York based apparel & soft accessories specialist with experience directing and managing teams of merchandisers and designers.
I am originally from Maryland, and started my professional design career in New York.
I have worked in the industry for over 25 years across multiple categories such as Women’s apparel, cold weather accessories, hosiery, and slippers. As an experienced team leader, I have a deep understanding of the private label, branded and off price businesses. I work very hard to find the “white space” in the customers product category. I’ve traveled worldwide for sourcing and product development. I have lead a team to Europe and Asia to shop competitive markets and do development. Having these working experiences, I have been able to grow and evolve in the ever changing fashion industry.
My career is my passions. I also enjoy reading, trying new and different foods, and traveling. I feel that based on my travel, I have had the opportunity to have a better understanding of the world.
Please check out my various sections of the portfolio. If you like what you see then I hope to hear from you! I’d be excited to learn about your brand or company’s needs and how I participate.
