What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build sustainable, traceable fashion products and brands, combining product development, sourcing, heritage craftsmanship, and purpose-driven growth.

At Levi Strauss & Co., I developed premium knitwear for Beyoncé, Levi’s x McLaren, and FIFA World Cup collaborations, contributing to 3% premium-category market-share growth. I optimized supply-chain workflows for $12M in knitwear, achieving 98% on-time delivery and reducing lead times by 12%.

I also reduced annual procurement costs by $100K through vendor negotiations, bulk-order consolidation, sustainable fibers, and water-conservation practices. Through Dockers’ EU Digital Product Passport project, I implemented end-to-end traceability for 30% of local knitwear and improved chemical transparency and sustainability compliance.

As co-founder of Collected XX, I built a slow-fashion heritage brand that generated €200K through DTC marketing and global retail partnerships. I care deeply about cultural preservation, having led the creation of Pakistan’s first digital repository of 150 traditional embroidery stitches with Citizens Archive of Pakistan.
