I’m Monica Richmond, a Senior Fashion Designer with over a decade of experience creating innovative, story-driven apparel across childrenswear, lifestyle, swim, and accessories. I’ve designed for brands including Kroger, Hanna Andersson, and Perry Ellis International, leading collections that merge imagination with functionality and sustainability.

My design philosophy is rooted in curiosity, movement, and meaning—I believe clothing should not only look beautiful but also serve a purpose, spark joy, and tell a story that feels personal. I’m energized by the full creative process, from translating cultural insights into seasonal direction to collaborating across teams and refining every last detail.

Currently based in Portland, Oregon, I bring an active, hands-on approach to design—balancing artistry with strategy, color with clarity, and innovation with intent. My passion lies in crafting thoughtful, responsible products that inspire confidence and connection, while shaping a more sustainable future for fashion.
