With over 25 years’ experience as a global fashion buyer and consultant, I’ve worked across international supply chains, lived and worked in London, Europe and Asia, and supported brands navigating the shift from linear to circular business models.
My work today focuses on the commercial reality of sustainability - where policy, materials, design, and business decisions intersect.
These masterclasses go beyond theory. I share practical insight, industry foresight, and real-world frameworks to help fashion professionals make better decisions, lead with confidence, and take accountability for what they put into the world.
