Designer (Accessories)
Member since June 14, 2007
I combine 20 years of couture and mass market fashion design experience with 10 years of IT technical marketing. I have successfully secured multi-million dollar funding for large scale science & technology projects, as well as serving as the executive administrator for one of the nation’s largest physical science projects, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As a fashion designer, I design and sell multiple styles to Walmart, resulting in more than $20MM in sales to date. I have a profitable virtual world fashion business that currently sustains five profitable SL islands. My current projects include a comprehensive redesign of sizing standards for the cold weather soft goods industry, joint development projects with IBM, a new design for NASA’s space glove replacement program, and leading with the Fashion Research Institute.
