I have over 20yrs working within the fashion industry for various high street retailers, brands, consultancies and suppliers which has given me a good understanding of the market place and a great grounding to running my own consultancy. After setting up as a freelancer 8 years ago and working with a few start up brands, I realised that there was a gap in the market for a full service offering. Clients would come to me with an idea for a brand but wouldn’t know how to go about sourcing fabrics, finding manufacturers and how to get their product to fruition. As well as designing for the clients I started offering the full package from design to delivery. Over the last 4 years I have worked with many startups that have gone onto be really successful and are now thriving As part of this I now offer a consultancy service whereby I project manage or mentor the client on how to deal with factories, where the best place to go for souring your fabrics, cost effectiveness and work alongside them so they can get involved with the manufacturing process and get first hand experience on how to develop their brand.
