Hi, I’m Tenille! I’m an artist, style guru and taco aficionado.
My professional career has mainly revolved around product development and marketing (specifically with consumer goods), but my path has not always been linear. I have a BFA from Maryville University in St. Louis & MA from the University of Louisville. As for my background, it's been pretty diverse; it includes stints in teaching, retail, product management and as brand ambassador. I thrive on timelines, deadlines, charts, calendars, and projects that let me utilize my creative side. However, I’m kind of a unicorn in the fact that I’m creative but I also have an analytical side. You don’t always get both! I’ve worked with major fashion brands such as Vera Wang, Zac Posen, Timex and kensie. Recently I’ve assisted with creating exclusive products for Dillard’s, Urban Outfitters, Walmart and international clients Swordfish & Friend based in Amsterdam.
A few specific areas I excel at are product management, product development, market research and spotting trends. Because I have such a keen eye combined with an art/design background this comes second nature to me. I’m very passionate about the details, it’s what makes all the difference between a good design and a great design. I'm also insanely obsessed with color, patterns and textiles. Don't believe me, check out my Instagram.
Outside of work you can find me at home having dance parties with my boys, gardening (I have a huge mint bed exclusively for cocktails), antiquing, searching for the perfect pair of jeans, and working on my fine art. I’m the Queen of Post-it Notes, love a good dinner party and enjoy networking within the community.
