  • Owned denim category end-to-end across seasonal buys, pricing, inventory flow, and performance tracking (in-store + e-commerce)
  • Delivered ~$80K–$90K revenue (timeframe as stated: per year or per quarter) with ~56% gross margin
  • Achieved ~88% sell-through at full/near price by managing depth and chasing winning styles
  • Kept markdown exposure under 10% of receipts
