DATOR

I'm Becky, a creative manager based in Philadelphia.

I have been working in the fashion industry for two decades with experience in design as well as people and project management.

My focus has been both apparel design and textile/print/color design.

The vast majority of my career has been managing in some way. I believe that collaboration yields a better product and I love helping individuals and teams reach their potential.

After receiving my BS in fashion design from Philadelphia University, I interned at Free People where I eventually landed a role as a designer.

I managed an amazing boutique in Philly called Petulia’s Folly.

I art directed a team of textile designers at Printfresh.

Then I returned to Free People to manage their textile team for a decade.

My career has allowed me to travel all over the world and experience so many facets within the fashion industry.

Wherever my career leads me, I simply love to be around beautiful things and to collaborate with passionate creators.

In addition to my love of art and design, I care a great deal about social justice issues, community, and sustainability.

For fun, I dabble in food culture, creative writing, photography, hiking, traveling, volunteering, all sorts of crafting, and hanging out with my son.
