As the founding lead designer at lululemon athletica, she designed some of the company’s most successful and iconic products including the groove pant and the logo hoodie. She later went on to co-found Kit and Ace, an apparel brand, and Ride Cycle Club, an indoor spin studio with JJ Wilson.

Today, Summer is actively involved in Hold It All Inc. HIA is a multifaceted organization that houses the Wilson Family interests and represents a carefully cultivated collection of entities that each hold true to the Wilson family’s vision of providing components for people to live longer, healthier, more fun lives.
