From the first Club Quarantine collections through CQ5 in 2025, I used sales patterns to shape assortments and carried launches through production, fulfillment and live-event handoffs.

The program continued from early online releases to a 2025 live-event merchandise handoff. These are team and program outcomes, not solely my work.

The product was part of the community.
D-Nice shared the home setup behind Club Quarantine while wearing a CQ tee and tagging the shop. I managed the merchandise and commerce program around that community: assortment, storefront, production and fulfillment.

My contribution
Managed merchandise commerce, production, fulfillment and customer operations.
Reviewed sales by product and collection to recommend assortment and restock decisions.
Coordinated approved assortments, launch assets, live-event merchandise and settlement reporting.
Use the sales pattern to shape the next release
In a June 30, 2020 review sent to D-Nice, I highlighted the strength of the original logo and the demand for women’s v-necks in the Breathe collection. I recommended including women’s styles in future drops, counting available warehouse stock and using a limited Instagram restock to bring inventory back to the audience.
Coordinate before the announcement
For CQ After Dark, I shared the approved assortment with the partner team and counsel, coordinated a proposed five-day relaunch, and requested social assets ahead of the sale. My role connected the product decision to the people and operational details needed to deliver it.
Stay accountable through the venue handoff
For CQ5 at the Apollo in March 2025, I coordinated stock counts with the venue, traced a missing size run to its shipping box and reconciled the count before the show. I then handled the return-shipping coordination and settlement follow-up. The work continued through the operational details that affect both fans and the artist.

Still part of the community in 2025
The CQ5 identity appears on D-Nice during an archived livestream. It connects the 2025 product program to the community it served. My role was merchandise, commerce and operations; D-Nice led the performance and audience relationship.
