<p><strong>Q: Tell us a bit about your role:</strong><br />
A: Along with my team, I get to create innovative and on-trend product designs. We use our skills and knowledge to identify a market need, then conceptualize and develop the product that is brought to market.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Which accomplishments are you most proud of?</strong><br />
A: Since COVID, there have been many changes that have affected our entire floral line. Working closely with our cross-functional teams, we were able to modify pre-existing products and accelerate our timelines to ensure we had our custom hard goods. I was extremely proud that our customers were able to purchase our intended collections regardless of any shipping delays the world was experiencing.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Who inspires you?</strong><br />
A: It sounds so cliché, but everyone and everything. I could be in the most unexpected place and be inspired by the smallest thing. I love the ability to take an element from one thing and combine it with an element from another to create an original design.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What do you enjoy most about working at 1-800-Flowers.com?</strong><br />

<p><strong>Q: What is your personal motto or mantra?</strong><br />
A: “There’s is no I in team.” Whether it’s at home or in the office, the best result will always include feedback and participation from everyone. When you get to have your voice heard, you are more invested and passionate about the outcome!</p>
<p><strong>Q: What’s your secret talent no one knows about?</strong><br />
