A few brands i've helped

Hi, I'm Melanie!
Taking you on A Look Behind The Seams of the fashion industry is what I'm all about - I take you right into the factory with me, showing you the secretive world of apparel manufacturing, from fiber to finished garment.
(This photo is of one of my adventures where I learned how ocean plastic is made into recycled fabrics.)
I have worked with the behemoths like Walmart and Target, as well as shaky startups that evolved into cult favorites like Nili Lotan and Hunter Boot - living and working in countries like Mexico, Domincan Republic, China, India, Taiwan, Egypt, and the Philippines where I got to see first-hand how the fashion industry operates.
Now my goal is to help YOU.
how can I help you?
whether you are getting ready to launch your first collection or looking for new reliable supply chain partners that can help you reach your sustainability goals, i am here to help!

Private Consultancy
Just me and you working 1:1. I'll do all the factory stuff for you, from sourcing to sampling, to managing your production run, I've got you covered.
You focus on your business, and let me handle getting your product made - think of it like hiring a full time employee but for a fraction of the price.

mentorship + group coaching
The most affordable way to work with me. And, a great place to make some new founder besties.
Perfect for startups or small brands looking to bootstrap.
I'll teach you everything you need to know about the fashion industry, and hold your hand as you source your product.
not to brag but...
