As an ambitious eyewear designer with a passion for crafting original, versatile designs defined by meticulous attention to color, materials, and detail, I am eager to embrace the exciting next step in my career. I have gained over seven years of experience developing and producing eyewear for licensed brands within multinational companies, spanning international high-street and premium fashion markets.
My career began at Red Eyewear in the UK, where I designed collections for global brands like Zara, Urban Outfitters, and Carvela, honing my skills in trend-driven design. Progressing to Mondottica as Lead Eyewear Designer, I crafted innovative collections for Christian Lacroix and United Colors of Benetton, mastering color and material development while preserving each brand’s distinct identity. Most recently, I relocated to New York to join EssilorLuxottica as Senior Eyewear Designer, leading Tory Burch and Brooks Brothers collections. This role deepened my expertise in the U.S. market, delivering a runway collection featured in WWD, Vogue, and Elle USA as well as contributing to considerable unit growth in 2024, while achieving over 90% sustainable materials, positioning the brand as a sustainability leader.
Now returning to the UK, I am eager to embrace the exciting next step in my career, offering my expertise in concept-to-production design, technical proficiency with Adobe CC and KeyShot, and cross-functional collaboration honed across continents.
