At Asian & Daf Group, I manage end-to-end children’s wear merchandising for international accounts including Garan Inc and Fred Meyer, aligning buyer specifications, quality standards, and delivery commitments.

I develop costing models and negotiate with vendors to improve profit margins by 9% annually. I also orchestrate product development, reduced sample approval lead time by 20%, and help maintain a 95%+ on-time bulk shipment delivery rate.

I cultivate global buyer relationships as a primary point of contact, contributing to more than $10M in repeat annual orders through service and reliability. I lead pre-production meetings across production, planning, and quality teams to mitigate risks and keep orders moving smoothly.

Previously at Fashion Watch, I coordinated buyers and factory production teams, developed BOMs, sourced raw materials, reduced material wastage by 5%, and supported costing, sample approvals, and quality control.
