About Me
I am a retail expert and trend forecaster based in New York City with over 7+ years of experience, specializing in girls' childrenswear. I drive market intelligence and trend insights for the manufacturer Sae-a Trading in Korea, directly supporting mass market retailers such as Target's Cat & Jack brand and Walmart’s Wonder Nation. My role involves presenting trend intelligence at key seasonal meetings held at Brand Headquarters such as Target in Minneapolis and influencing style selections that resonate with consumers.
I leverage a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics through extensive research across the U.S. and Europe, frequently visiting stores and tracking consumer preferences. By attending major industry events and utilizing reputable trend platforms, I am at the forefront of emerging trends and insights. This dynamic approach allows me to work closely with design teams, ensuring our product offerings are perfectly aligned with market demands.
My retail expertise extends to my background in Visual Merchandising at Alo Yoga and my E-commerce experience at Stylitics. This dual perspective strengthens my ability to create impactful brand narratives that engage customers across all platforms. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Apparel Merchandising, Design, & Production Management from Auburn University, where I was honored with the President’s Award and was the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the campus magazine, SWATCH.
