About me
When I was 14 I wrote myself a career plan: work in fashion; make a difference. I wasn’t sure how those were connected at the time but two decades later I believe that listicle speaks to the core of my life’s work - to champion creativity and help visionaries thrive.
Today I bring creative/commercial savvy and entrepreneurial spirit to marketing and brand building for start- & scale-ups.
As a generalist and hustler at heart, I make things happen - delivering growth even when marketing budgets don’t grow, launching new products through GTM strategies, developing brand look & feel, telling stories that help to close sales, building connections to strengthen network effect and opening doors to collaborations and retailers alike.
Projects
- Fashion DNA: British Council x Ukrainian Fashion WeekFashion DNA was a business support programme for 8 selected Kiev-based designers. I was invited by the British Council to lead this intensive market entry programme covering product development, range planning, costing and pricing, supply chain and sales strategy for emerging brands.
