About me

I am a sustainable fashion graduate from London College of Fashion, and Managing Partner of The Red Flower Factory. In my Masters I focussed specifically on the business side of sustainability and, based on the principles of the circular economy and regenerative design, I developed a business idea that got me to the finals of the UAL Enterprise Challenge (2021) and among the semi-finalists of the Mayor’s Entrepreneur (2021). I started working at The Red Flower Factory as Sustainability Specialist. The Red Flower Factory is a NextGen laboratory helping brands craft disruptive solutions for and with the generation of tomorrow. My role consisted in conducting research in order to identify insights, challenges and opportunities to help brands innovate. Since September 2021, I have been leading The Red Flower Factory. I am now in charge of developing a sustainable business model for TRFF, recruiting the right talent, building a company culture, managing projects and people, creating business opportunities and growing. I love when sustainability is done right, researching future trends and building brand strategies.

• It seems to me that most job offers in sustainable fashion are for Senior level positions. Is anyone is experiencing the same?
