Hi, I am Zena Rhoden, multi-disciplinary creative with an eye for specifics & strategy. I am a Cornell Architecture graduate, originally from the Bronx, New York and currently residing in New Jersey.
Most recently, I have been leading a multi-brand Retail Design Team for AEO with a focus on design development for American Eagle and emerging luxury brand, Todd Snyder, which recently just opened their Flagship store at Roc Center and continuing to expand across key retail markets in North America. Prior to AEO, I was developing retail concepts for global brands, like Coach, Kate Spade, & Stuart Weitzman. I have over 15 years of experience as a Designer in architecture and retail creating bespoke millwork and custom finishes. I am proficient in creating global design standards, detailed millwork libraries, finish schedules, & renderings. Due to my multi-faceted tenure at Tapestry, I can also leverage my experience in areas of production, procurement, and value engineering.
