Before setting up in my consultancy, I was a buyer for 15 years for some of the world&apos;s most recognised brands. I loved my job but hated working in an industry that I knew was incredibly polluting and damaging on a global scale. I thought about leaving the industry all together but knew the industry was even less likely to improve without change-makers on the inside.
Instead I set up my consultancy and decided to work with purpose-driven and sustainably-minded brands, using my expertise to help businesses be the change that the fashion industry needs.
