I was the lead designer for the women’s division of Xersion, JC Penney’s private label activewear brand.

For Spring II 2022, sustainability became the focus for private brands at JC Penney. I worked closely with our US and overseas fabric teams to engineer recycled poly alternatives for our top-volume fabric programs. In addition, breathability, antimicrobial, and UPF technology were added to appropriate products to further elevate the brand’s performance.
