Apparel Design & Development

 For a decade, I chased my passions across the globe, surfing, and embracing nature's wonders. Transitioning, I pursued my artistic calling at Art School in Portland, focusing on Apparel Design with an emphasis on Outerwear and Activewear. Joining Columbia Sportswear post-graduation, I honed my skills under seasoned mentors for six fruitful years. Seeking new horizons after a decade in Oregon, I settled in Southern California, founding Kachka Swimwear and PonchOlas. Alongside nurturing my own brand, I engage in Freelance Design and Consulting, blending creativity with business acumen. Throughout this odyssey, my reverence for nature deepened, shaping a lifestyle centered on the ocean and mountains, infusing my designs with authenticity and purpose."
