About Schneider
I am a creative, forward-thinking retail Design Executive whose success is directly related to finding and creating the right trends that the retail consumer is looking for. With a career launched in handbags and now spanning across Women’s, Men’s and Kids footwear and fashion accessories, I have a significant record of building and leading multi-category design teams and operations, driving top and bottom line growth, with an understanding of the larger concept of design collaboration and brand DNA. I love what I do and particularly enjoy the problem solving involved with iterating an accessories collection to meet the constantly evolving taste of the consumer, while balancing the cost to make those collections profitable.
