In the Spring of 2013 I was tasked with jumpstarting a full line of headwear for 5.11 Tactical. The category had potential sales numbers but no product or line plan. Meeting with several vendors in Asia, fits and standards were selected for 6 initial headwear blank styles with proprietary fit, closures, and patterns. With the addition of retail store fronts the 5.11 headwear line has grown significantly to present day.
*Also participated in SMU Headwear Designer for Quiksilver as an Accessories Design intern.
