Trisha has my recommendation as an experienced and talented product & technical developer who brings creativity and positivity to her work. She has a tremendous breadth of knowledge across many categories and is a very quick learner. This makes her adaptable for any new business opportunity. As a critical thinker, Trisha is always stretching her creativity towards the future. Trisha is a great addition to any team!

Working with Trisha over the last 3 and a half years has been nothing but a joy! I had the pleasure of having Trisha on my team as a Technical Development Manager at Kendra Scott where she successfully launched our Home and Candle businesses, and later transitioned into developing our Fine Jewelry & Sterling silver lines. Trisha’s technical experience and expertise is like none I’ve ever seen before! She is completely dedicated to learning every aspect of the product type that she is working on, and has a genuine passion for making a product come to life. She has built some of the strongest vendor relationships that I have seen in my career and was always an amazing partner to all teams that she worked with. Her personality and charisma towards the brand was contagious and I am definitely going to miss working with her! Trisha comes highly recommended by me, and any company would be lucky to have her!
