Fit check
Is this for your brand?
You’re launching and genuinely unsure where to begin.
You have an existing line, but it feels inconsistent season to season.
You’re overwhelmed by concept, product mix, fit, sourcing, or timelines.
You need a creative-director brain without hiring one full time.
How I work
Four lenses on every engagement
- 01
Clarity
What the brand is, who it’s for, and what it refuses to be.
- 02
Cohesion
A line that reads as one point of view instead of a mood swing.
- 03
Customer
Product decisions grounded in who actually buys and wears this.
- 04
Confidence
You leave able to brief, decide, and edit without spiraling.
