Manufacturers sense newcomers from a mile away. Not knowing the right questions to ask or pit-falls to watch out for can result in costly mistakes. For some, these mistakes are so big that they prevent product ideas from ever becoming a reality.
With 20 years of industry experience, I've brought nearly 80 ready-to-wear collections to life and have overseen the production of thousands of units each month. Throughout the years, I’ve honed my strategies and uncovered the trade secrets that help ensure a product idea makes it to market—and I want to share them with you.
I’ll help you minimize risk at every stage of product development—from researching the market to determine product viability to finding the right manufacturer to produce your samples & production, to negotiating existing agreements and increasing margins. You’ll know exactly what to expect at every phase of production and where to make improvements in your product development process.
