Alicia Pinckney, Global Apparel Designer, Timberland

Originally from Philadelphia, currently based in Switzerland, Alicia's career has allowed her to call 5 cities and 3 countries home: US-Phila, NYC, Boston, Italy-Milano & Switzerland-Lugano. As a Global Apparel Designer with demonstrated history of understanding consumers and different cultures, while also working with a team of different nationalities, she have been able to apply this knowledge to her technical & creative skills in delivering on brand product. Her strong suit is storytelling and paying attention to what’s relevant on the market.



In addition to actively using her creative side, she is balancing her technical thinking daily through building tech packs and creating 3D renders of her designs to send off for production. As an inquisitive learner, her knowledge of garment construction was self taught at a young age but she had the privilege to refine those skills while pursuing her Bachelor's degree at Philadelphia Univ. & her Masters degree at Domus Academy in Milan.
