Global Apparel Product Development & Manufacturing Consultant
Working directly on location at factories, I help fashion brands reduce production risk, accelerate time-to-market, and improve margins. With 25+ years’ experience, I bridge teams and manufacturers to ensure clear communication, aligned execution, and reliable, high-quality results.
Factory Representation
I support fashion brands by efficiently turning design concepts into factory-ready realities. Operating as a highly skilled technician and liaison for your creative, production, and factory teams.
Representing your brand directly at the factory, I work in real time to solve problems on the spot; turning around refined developments efficiently while minimizing unnecessary back-and-forth and accelerating your product to market. Acting as both a technical expert and liaison, I bridge your design, development, and production teams with factory partners to ensure clear communication, aligned execution, and strong results.
With over 25 years of experience across design, development, and production, I bring both creative and technical expertise to every stage. I address fit, construction, workmanship, quality, and manufacturability; ensuring products are not only compelling, but viable and scalable in the market.
My approach integrates these elements early, allowing for faster decision-making, smoother development, and unparalleled outcomes.
Your brand identity remains fully intact throughout the process. We work closely together as I carry your vision through each phase of development, collaborating with vendors to resolve challenges, uphold your standards, and achieve the highest level of execution possible.
I offer a highly adaptable and continuous level of support through hands-on work at your factories, in-person collaboration at your offices, and seamless remote integration with your internal team; ensuring development stays aligned, responsive, and moving forward at all times.
