I understand where you are.
You have the talent. You have the vision. But somewhere between the design and the delivery, things became overwhelming.
Maybe you're drowning in supplier quotes, unsure which manufacturer is right for your brand. Maybe you're second-guessing your pricing because the numbers don't feel quite right. Or maybe you're producing collections the way everyone says you should, but it's draining your creative energy instead of fueling it.
I've spent a decade in fashion production and supply chain management. I studied Production Management at FIT and have worked behind the scenes with designers who felt exactly the way you do right now.
What I learned is this: the problem is not your talent or your vision. It's the lack of systems designed for how you actually work.
What I wish someone had told me.
Complete specs upfront save you money.
Providing detailed tech packs, patterns, and fabric decisions before production prevents expensive back-and-forth and disputes later.
Industry timelines are longer than you think.
Most production runs start a year in advance. Add in Chinese New Year closures and holiday rush, and timing becomes everything.
One factory is never enough.
Even great relationships can fall through. Having backup factories vetted and ready protects your business when things go sideways.
Factories prioritize trusted relationships.
They give the best attention to designers they know and trust. Building that relationship takes time, visits, and clear communication.
This is what I teach, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
How I help.
Factory communication support. Learn what to say, how to say it, and when. Get scripts, templates, and guidance for clear communication that prevents costly misunderstandings.
Production systems & workflows. Build the operational backbone your brand needs: production calendars, sampling trackers, costing sheets, and supplier management.
Sustainable sourcing guidance. Navigate ethical production without the overwhelm. Get clear guidance on materials, suppliers, and relationships that align with your values.
Strategic clarity. Whether you're producing 50 pieces for a devoted client base or scaling to thousands, get guidance that fits your brand positioning and creative goals.
