Shifting to Recycled & Natural Fabrications

I’ve guided brands through the transition from conventional synthetics to recycled and natural textiles, helping them source materials like ECONYL®, organic cotton, and TENCEL™ that align with both performance and environmental goals. By educating teams on fabric lifecycle, supply chain impact, and functionality, I’ve helped companies reduce their footprint without compromising on design or quality.

Building a Company-Wide Sustainability Blueprint

For brands ready to make long-term change, I’ve created tailored sustainability frameworks that outline actionable goals across the business. These blueprints highlight fiber and trim certifications, detail the environmental and social benefits of preferred materials, and provide digestible guidance to help teams understand and integrate sustainability into daily operations and design decisions.

Defining What Sustainability Means for the Brand

Because sustainability isn’t one-size-fits-all, I work closely with brands to clarify what it truly means for their mission, product, and customer. Whether it’s circularity, ethical labor, biodiversity, or low-impact packaging, I help pinpoint the pillars that matter most, making their sustainability story both authentic and achievable.

Vetting Vendors & Visiting Factories

I help brands identify and partner with manufacturers and mills that meet rigorous standards, including certifications like GOTS, OEKO-TEX®, and Audits. From reviewing supply chain documentation to visiting factories in person, I ensure every partner aligns with the brand’s values, and that behind-the-scenes practices match what’s promised.
