"We have finalised the assortment for C4 Art Class and I have made the majority of the comments/approvals already. I wanted to pass along a note to thank you for all of the amazing work you have done designing for Art Class. …. was awarded a large amount of the total sku’s for C4 Art Class and it really comes down to your great design! I was able to approve the majority of the first-round sample today because they looked so good and didn’t require any rework. Now, that is a huge win! Also, we were also able to implement the holiday novelty jewelry idea you brought up at market and our leadership was really excited about that program. You have been such a great partner and responding so quickly to my asks whether it’s revised cads or new product ideas. I appreciate your partnership!! Thanks, Lee and congrats on a fantastic cycle!!"

Lee's design skills are outstanding - she's by far the strongest designer I've worked with. Lee is able to specialize for any guest segment, retailer, & age group. She does a thorough job at reviewing what's going on in the market with trend recaps, category recommendations, trend curves, & leveraging all this data to create market relevant styles! Love working with her :)"
