Hi, I’m Courtney, a designer with a strong background in intimates, shapewear, sleepwear, and activewear. I began my career by designing sleepwear for iconic brands like Victoria’s Secret and Disney, after which I spent time immersed in knit tops and activewear. But early on, I decided to devote myself to lingerie, my truest passion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of designing bras, panties, and shapewear for a wide variety of brands, including those focused on plus-sized consumers such as Lane Bryant and Ashley Stewart.
In 2008, I noticed a major gap in the market for alluring, unpadded bras. So I took a leap of faith and founded my own bra company. Inspired by the 1950s Golden Age of Hollywood, I created a collection that was sold directly to customers through my company’s website, as well as in lingerie boutiques across the country. It was a thrilling adventure that taught me so much about entrepreneurship, creativity, and the art of connecting with consumers.
In 2016, I returned to the corporate world, designing sports bras for Champion at Hanes and for private label brands at Walmart. Then in 2019, I joined Thinx and embarked on an entirely new adventure, designing discreet and innovative period underwear. This role was a perfect blend of art and science, as I worked on creating leakproof products backed by rigorous consumer research and simulated true-to-life testing.
Now I’m seeking my next opportunity and am genuinely excited about the possibilities ahead. I am deeply inspired by thoughtful product design that addresses real human needs and thrive on collaborating with others to bring ideas to life. If you’d like to connect, I’d be delighted to chat.
