I designed Humankind, a gender-inclusive collection, from 2022 to 2024. Joining the HK team as designer from the manufacturing partner side, I worked closely with founder Haily Marzullo to evolve a small swimwear grouping into a year-round collection including swim and coverups, activewear, apparel, and shapewear. In that time, SKU count increased 280%, with new prints, colors, and fabrics for each of several deliveries throughout the year.

Gender-inclusive fit is paramount for Humankind, so I led the initiative to fit garments on models across a wide range of gender expressions and sizes, working closely with my tech team to optimize each style's fit on every body. I also worked with product design to develop and source fabrics with specialized tech features and benefits to meet our customers' specific needs.
