Fashion product developer and sourcing consultant across Italy and Europe, connecting brands with manufacturers and bringing products to production.

Message

In my freelance product development and sourcing work, I take fashion, textile, and accessories projects from supplier scouting and material research through costing, sampling, negotiation, and production follow-up.

I’ve built and manage a network of manufacturers and specialized suppliers across Italy and Europe. I evaluate suppliers through showrooms, trade fairs, and industry networks, including Pitti Uomo, and develop sourcing strategies aligned with brand identity and commercial objectives.

At NEW ERA CAP, I managed international suppliers across Asia and coordinated collections for five licensed sports federations. I handled development workflows in Centric PLM and supplier negotiations that generated annual savings of approximately USD $40K–$100K.

At HARRIS & FRANK, I managed creative development for seasonal menswear collections, from concept and trend research through sampling and production. I developed concepts, moodboards, color palettes, sketches, and tech specs, and coordinated suppliers, sample reviews, and fittings.
