I CraftBrands.

My journey into the world of fashion and luxury began with an insatiable curiosity for craftsmanship, heritage, and brand storytelling. Over the years, my passion found its zenith through the privilege of working closely with some of Italy’s most renowned luxury fashion houses — where I immersed myself in the artistry, precision, and discipline that define true sartorial excellence.

Determined to complement hands-on experience with academic depth, I pursued a Master’s degree in Luxury Retail Management at Polimoda in Florence, Italy, and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Australia. This unique combination of strategic insight and luxury expertise shapes my consultancy approach today.

Visionary Journey.

 

I work with international clients to connect their vision with the excellence of “Made in Italy.” From concept development to sourcing the finest Italian production partners, I help brands translate their creative identity into beautifully executed products. Whether launching a private label or scaling an established brand, my role is to guide each step with clarity, precision, and a deep understanding of the  landscape.

 

Fashion is not just a product; it’s an experience and
I’m here to ensure every stage of your brand’s journey reflects that truth.
