BUYING & MERCHANDISING
No matter where your business is positioned, getting the right product in the right place at the right time for the best price is critical to the success of any business. Buying and Merchandising is central to that challenge. My BA degree married with my experience thus far has focused on this discipline, allowing me to be at the centre of the action when it comes to range planning, forecasting and cross-collaboration.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Consumers today are constantly searching for products that are made from beautiful fabrics, constructed with skill and fit their bodies seamlessly. With projects specific to the concept to consumer journey and my experience working with overseas manufacturers, let's keep our end consumer central to the development process.
MARKETING
In order to engage consumers, a business's reason to exist has to be unambiguously clear; standing for something with unwavering authenticity and commitment.. This is where marketing, PR and communications step into the spotlight. Let's start by dreaming about where we want our brand to be, the rest will fall into place.
