Hi, I'm Zane Trae!
With over 15 years of experience in designing and leading creative projects for consumer goods startups, I am an award-winning designer and creative leader who delivers best-in-class products on time, every time. Whether it is textile, graphic, or branding design, I have a proven ability to conceptualize and execute innovative and impactful solutions that meet customer needs and drive business growth.
Currently, I am the Head of Print at TA3 SWIM, a fractional role where I oversee the print direction and development for a premium swimwear brand. I am also an Artist in Residence at Rodeo Drive Committee, where I design and execute on all campaign collateral for luxury fashion events, and a VP Design Strategy Advisor at Ruggable, where I provide strategic guidance and direction for the design team of a fast-growing home decor company. In these roles, I leverage data to inform sales strategy and product design, analyze trends and forecast future demand, and build and maintain a strong and inspiring team culture. With a Masters of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design, I am passionate about creating consumer-loved products that reflect my expertise and vision.
