Speaker
Mirela de Lacerda Barbosa, LCF Graduate Futures Enterprise Consultant: With 20 years of experience in the fashion and beauty industries, Mirela’s work combines research, strategy, and cultural aspects in order to create strong brand stories. A background as a fashion journalist and lecturer, allowed her to understand market challenges from different perspectives, which led to the research of archetypes as a branding strategy. During her MA Fashion Entrepreneurship and Innovation course at LCF, the concept was further explored in case studies about British brands. In 2016, she launched Project M London, an emotional branding consultancy aimed at start-ups and middle-size businesses. Since 2020, working as an Enterprise consultant she has been expanding her coaching and mentoring skills by supporting students and alumni on their entrepreneurial journeys.
