In 2006, I founded Ses Petites Mains Tiny Chic Clothing,the critically-acclaimed line of childrenswear that I also Creatively Directed. We produced each & every piece in San Francisco.

I made a commitment in supporting local communities & resisting the pressure to work off-shore. We developed a sourcing strategy that allowed for a competitively priced & beautifully crafted, domestically-produced product.

I wanted to remind the general public that we are capable of making 'things' and "that making" needed to happen locally to convince the masses.

More than just a beautiful collection -- my entrepreneurial spirit combined with Best Practices from my work with Ralph Lauren, Esprit & Limited Brands, allowed Ses Petites Mains to become a globally respected brand within the Better Childrenswear Market.

After twenty years developing product & running my own business, I now consult with brands helping them to decipher the current retail disruption. Observing trends & behaviors; distilling data into meaningful doses; and creating solutions to get product through today’s complex retail environment into the hands of the consumer.

When I'm not thinking about brands & product, I can be found painting, gardening or surfing with my teenage daughter in the beautiful coastal coves of north marin.
