🟧 Tell us about your career at Mark’s.

I earned my degree in Fashion Design and spent 10 years in Dubai, designing for people from a wide range of lifestyles, tastes, and cultures. Moving to Canada in 2017 was a whole new learning experience—a challenging climate system, very diverse society and lifestyles to consider in the design process.

At Mark’s, I get to design with the everyday Canadian in mind, keeping them warmer, drier, safer and confident at the core of everything we create. It’s inspiring to be part of a brand that truly reflects real life in Canada and continuously evolves to meet the needs of the people who call it home.

I joined Mark’s three years ago, bringing with me a background in athleisure and knitwear design shaped by years of working directly with clients across various demographics. Having lived in multicultural cities, I’ve seen firsthand how fashion isn’t just about trends—it’s about how people live, move, and feel in their clothes. As a Knit Tees & Athleisure Designer at Mark’s, I design for real life, ensuring that whether our customer is layering up in a warm T-max tee on cooler days or reaching for a breathable “quick dry” style that transitions from errands to relaxation, they feel effortlessly put together.

🟧 How do you contribute to making life in Canada better?

By designing clothing that moves with them, not against them. I focus on age-agnostic fits, ensuring comfort and confidence across different body shapes, with fabrics that breathe, stretch, and feel effortless. Every detail matters—how a tee drapes, how a neckline flatters, and how it holds up over time.

Mark’s is a beloved brand with generations of loyal customers, and our goal is to honour that legacy while embracing the future. Canadian society is constantly evolving, with new people and cultures shaping the market every day. Designing for both our longtime customers and the new age consumer is a challenge we embrace—one that pushes us to innovate while staying true to what makes Mark’s special.

🟧 What is it about Mark’s that excites you to come to work each day?

The challenge of turning real customer insights into wardrobe solutions. I love the challenge of translating lifestyle habits and market trends into cohesive collections that simplify dressing.

Mark’s provides an environment that encourages growth and innovation. I get to work cross-functionally with buyers, product makers, fit technicians and material innovation experts, all working toward the same goal—creating thoughtful, high-quality products.

Every season brings new learnings, and the ability to collaborate and improve with each collection keeps the work exciting and rewarding.

🟧 What do you love about working at Mark’s?

Designing at Mark’s has taught me that good design is intuitive—it anticipates needs before they’re spoken. A great collection isn’t just about individual pieces; it’s about how everything works together, offering multiple ways to mix and match.

What makes Mark’s stand out as a place to work is the culture of collaboration and expertise. I get to work alongside incredibly experienced professionals who bring deep knowledge to the table—helping refine every fabric, silhouette, and fit. Every season is about learning, improving, and evolving to create pieces that truly resonate with our customers.
