Early in my career, I had the incredible opportunity to join Reebok as an Associate Technical Designer. One of my most significant early roles involved working alongside Michele Slobin Apprille, the Head of Apparel and Graphic Design at the time, on the Reebok X Cirque Du Soleil collaboration, 'Jukari Fit to Fly.' In this capacity, my primary focus was creating technical worksheets to support the work of tech developers.

Collaborating closely with Michele, I played a vital role in constructing flats for cross-functional tech developers and directly engaging with project line managers. This experience provided me with valuable insights into the meticulous process of building line sheets, allowing me to grasp the comprehensive scope of the design process at a high level.

Moreover, I had the privilege of working in close partnership with Cirque Du Soleil and a cross-functional team member to refine and finalize the color offerings for retail and company activations globally. This collaborative effort ensured that the chosen color palette perfectly aligned with the brand's overarching vision while meeting the specific requirements of diverse retail environments and events.

Through fulfilling these responsibilities, I actively contributed to the seamless execution of the Reebok X Cirque Du Soleil 'Jukari Fit to Fly' collection. By incorporating technical precision and captivating colors, we delivered an exceptional product offering that exemplified the synergy between Reebok and Cirque Du Soleil's shared vision.
