Louis Vuitton

During my tenure at Louis Vuitton my designs helped to achieve +20% growth in the travel category each year.

As a creative I propose silhouettes and seasonal color and material options when I see a need in a line plan or market segmentation. Here are two of my favorites I proposed at Louis Vuitton which the All-in Bag alone brought in over 15 million dollars in sales from its launch in 2017.

White and lavender checkerboard canvas tote bag with tan leather handles and luggage tag

Pink rolling carry-on suitcase with tan trim, telescoping handle, and four spinner wheels

While seemingly impractical The Ballerina Pink Horizon Luggage became so successful it stayed in the collection for more than 1 year after initial seasonal buy-in.

For the permanent heritage collection I modernized the following travel essentials:
Garment Bag became lighter, with innovative new light weight coated canvas I initiated.
Bag Hook to assist in carrying well loved classics.
Designed perfect fit Travel Pouches & travel Jewelry Box to hold everything from small accessories to larger well-loved items.

Anna Sui x Tumi

I met and worked directly with Anna Sui for this limited edition travel collection that was a quickly sold out exclusive for Isetan, Japan in 2011.

Every detail was considered from the zipper pullers to the luggage tag and lining all designed with Anna Sui and functionality in mind.

I worked directly with Virgil Abloh (mostly via Whattsapp), resulting in wheeled luggage offered in the Men’s show animation.

A first for the house.

Virgil and I worked on this together and was design approved before our departures from the house.

A true product designed in the world of high fashion. Extensive market research, user testing and engineering lead to this made-to-order golf bag rooted in the historic codes of Louis Vuitton, light weight and highly functional for today’s client.

Iconic details were used throughout the piece, including:
* Handles of the heritage trunks.
* Leather header and zipper end tab details.
* Club separator in monogram flower shape.
* Sporty detail of the runaway sneakers, which have become popular with both men and women, used as inspiration for base.

Made in Spain.

Tumi

From 2011 - mid 2016 I contributed to over 10 million dollars in annual sales per collection I had the opportunity to design and development from concept stage through production approval.

We can say I had the opportunity to show my flexibility as a designer as I work on projects as varied as feminine Anna Sui collaborations to military styled travel collections.
