Tyler has brought more than 300 products to market across industries and categories. He has managed award-winning design and product teams for companies including W&P, Bobble, and GIR, and developed private label products for big-box retailers such as William Sonoma, Sur La Table, West Elm & Target. His extensive background and education in Advertising & Marketing Communications (FIT) and Gender & Sexuality Studies (University of Kentucky) paved the way for Tyler to become the Director of Product at maude last year. At maude, Tyler leads product development, wholesale management, and oversees operations and supply chain. During his tenure, he has expanded the company’s offering by nearly a dozen, as the product line continues to redefine the category.
