What People Are Saying
-
“Cameron and I have worked together on multiple projects where Cameron designed and I managed the development process. He is extremely focused, creative and collaborative. Cameron is also very technical and is able to think in 3D and 4D. Our work is mostly for new brands where we are creating product for the first time. Cameron is the rare designer who cares about the trajectory of a brand and works hard to set up all designs and design processes correctly from the beginning so the brand can scale as efficiently as possible. He is the secret weapon for a new launch.”

“I worked with Cameron at a critical juncture of Tory Burch's expansion- when the brand finally began to expand internationally, especially in Asia. We (International Team) knew that accessories, in particular handbags and SLG would be a keystone category to have a long and successful business in Asia and worked closely with the product team to develop the categories to ensure that regional needs were considered in the line. Cameron was a key contact for me and the rest of the international team- his ability to take: marry the 'merchandising' with the 'creative' is seamless. After just a year of launch, the category over indexed in the region by well over 2000 bps and lead the development of accessory only locations in key markets.
Cameron is a modern designer- thoughtful, considerate, creative, (and fun). The fact that what he does comes so effortlessly to him is proof that this was his path, and for those that have him join their team, will not regret it.”

“I worked with Cameron at Tory Burch. He joined the team as a Design Assistant for bags. I was immediately struck by his talent, passion and excellence. It is no surprise now to see how successful and accomplished he is. He would be a brilliant collaborator or consultant for a brand looking for a modern, deft touch to their collection.
I love watching his talent shine, and his work look so great.”

Cameron was an instrumental part in the creation of one of my most beloved restaurant brands in NYC, The Cynical Schnauzer. This Weimar era inspired zero waste and sustainability focused gastro pub was imagined through the creative lens that Cameron was able to usher me through. From delving into brand feel and concept to sourcing materials and fabrics he was engaged in the process throughout. Using an iterative process of mood boarding and creative engagement to identify my needs and vision he was able to translate into the exact concept that I was hoping for. He was able to connect me with artists for the logo design, merchants for the furnishings, mixologists for the cocktail design, merchants for the fabrics, vendors for the samples, crafts people for the build out and the list goes on. He is a people connector that can manage any project using his critical thinking and community of professionals to make the impossible possible. His energy, tenacity and passion for the project was evident from the beginning to the end. I felt as though I had a partner in this venture which gave me a sense of ease to embark on creating this brand and concept. Cameron has a discerning eye and immense creativity coupled with the energy and passion to see any project through. With his help this labor of love became a fixture in the Brooklyn community and abroad with audiences and media attention from the NY Times, Gothamist, Brooklyn Magazine, ABC, and many other media outlets from NYC, all over the USA and abroad. Features abroad included travel and news outlets in Brazil, Japan and Germany. I think of Cameron in the design process for this brand as a brand co-creator who even after the restaurant was open would continue generating business and engagement. Truly a remarkable human that I could not have done without in realizing my vision.

“Cameron and I partnered on a studio concept ‘The Bull & The Lion’ in which he designed and oversaw the production of our private label handbags made in the US, utilizing European materials. Additionally, we produced finished product in fine jewelry and hats for clients on special projects requiring urgent deadlines and unique sourcing requests (real pearls, feathers sustainability sourced, horsehair sourced through the Cherokee nation).
Cameron’s outstanding portfolio of experience was evident in his ability to execute luxury level concepts and support them through his global network of artisans, makers, and suppliers. I have always been impressed on how quickly Cameron works as he is truly one of the most efficient designers in his field.
His love for design and beauty is evident and his passion for what he does is clear as he goes far above and beyond what is called for.”

“Cameron and I have worked together during his design work at several companies. As a vendor partner, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and working on our projects that made his ideas come to life. He has an amazing eye for design and excellent taste level, both of which show in all of his work. Cameron is also a pleasure to collaborate with. He has an easy going and fun personality and his passion for great product comes through as you get to know him. He is incredibly talented and someone I would highly recommend as a creative asset for any team.”

“I have known Cameron for many years. We met while I was freelancing at Tory Burch. I cannot say enough positive things about Cameron. Apart from being a very talented and skilled designer, he is also extremely bright, a team player, and very much a people person. He is a pleasure to work with and to be around. I recommend Cameron without hesitation and would love the opportunity to work with him in the future.”
