Chloe grew up in Northbridge, Massachusetts where she learned to snowboard in the nearby mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire. A daring yet clumsy athlete, Chloe found herself in casts as often as she found herself on her board. These experiences led her to grow a deep love and respect for the sport. Coupled with her desire to self-express through clothing, Chloe felt inspired to design snowboarding and outdoor apparel. She earned a B.S. in Retail Entrepreneurship from Florida State University, specializing in product development. During her time in undergrad, she developed a strong passion for soft goods and innovation, excelling in textile science. Chloe is a nature lover and enjoys connecting deeply with each environment she’s in, often ideating on apparel design that allows us to thrive outdoors. After college Chloe spent two years in Denver, CO working as a Merchandising Manager; enhancing both her knowledge of apparel and her love for nature.

Chloe enjoys challenging herself by developing ideas that push boundaries, looking towards future innovation in a field that is ever-changing. An enthusiastic leader: she is goal-oriented and a natural collaborator. She is focused on outdoor apparel that meets the needs of athletes while simultaneously sparking new innovations in utility. A mission of hers is to break down the binary that often separates self-expression and functionality in women’s sports apparel.
