My core expertise lies in Fashion Accessories & Lifestyle Products, including bags, wallets, belts, shoes, garments, and home décor. I have also partnered with brands across home décor, hard goods, fragrances, health & superfoods, and textiles, helping them with identity building, product innovation, and expansion strategies.
