Over the past 10 years, I was an integral part of the HAVEN team, contributing to its uncompromising dedication to authentic, functional design, craftsmanship, and innovation.
As a member of the Vancouver-based company established in 2006, I helped create the HAVEN collection, drawing inspiration from Canada’s four seasons. Using a functional design approach, I focused on improving comfort, performance, and utility while balancing familiarity with ingenuity.
At HAVEN, I worked closely with premium material innovators such as Polartec®, GORE-TEX®, Schoeller®, Loro Piana®, and Primaloft®. I helped develop modern, seasonally adaptive collections that blended performance technologies with everyday wearability. My hands-on collaboration with specialized manufacturers in Canada and Japan was central to meticulously engineering garments that met rigorous quality standards, from prototyping and fabric testing to refining construction details.
Contributing to HAVEN’s mission of crafting exceptional, modern, everyday clothing represented a significant achievement in my career. I am proud to have been part of a team that consistently pushed the boundaries of authentic, functional design, craftsmanship, and innovation.
