WE MADE OUR COSTUMES!

My ASSISTANT DESIGNER

 AT ADORE ME

"I was lucky enough to have Kristen as my manager at Adore Me. She was a great leader and mentor to me. Her positive attitude was motivation to the whole team in challenging situations. She's able to see the larger problem at hand and pragmatically find a solution that will benefit the greatest amount. One of Kristen's greatest strengths is her passion and desire to help other's excel. She helped me grow as a designer and personally greatly. Kristen was always open to hearing my ideas and questions while working together which made the working environment ideal. Her ability to clearly explain decision making in design and how it will effect not only the customer, but the business at whole taught me more than I could have expected."

"Although we weren't in the same team when Kristen was working at Adore Me, we ended up working together a few times on cross-departmental projects. Kristen is a very organized and thorough person, with high expectations, always thriving for perfection. Her capacity to motivate has always impressed me: Kristen gets people excited to work together and creates a great team spirit, whatever the project. She's extremely creative and full of resources - anyone would be lucky to have her on their team. She's a great asset and a great person."

"Kristen and I worked together at Adore Me for 3 years as the company scaled from <$1M - $8M+ monthly revenue and she was the main design manager along with the VP of design. She is one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. First she has great interpersonal skills: very good at managing relationships, receptive to feedback and proving constructive recommendation to help her colleagues and the structure growth, empowering not only people she manages but also her peers and superiors. She is also super talented and creative (at Adore Me she was releasing on average 30+ new lingerie/swim styles per month!) I'm always looking forward to buying from her yearly new swimwear collection :) Definitely a great woman to work with."

"Kristen is a truly passionate and driven designer with a strong sense of creative problem-solving. We worked together on private label accounts, where directives and calendar dates are constantly shifting and she was consistently able to adapt quickly and with a positive attitude. She is able to understand the relationship between form and function and create beautiful product that takes the consumer's needs into consideration. Perhaps most importantly, in an industry full of moody designers, Kristen always managed to maintain a bubbly personality and a great outlook, which often helped pull the team through challenging situations."
