Hi there — I’m Milena, a Fashion Designer, Technical Designer, and Brand Growth Strategist helping companies define their market position and turn clarity into measurable results. With 15+ years in the NYC fashion, wellness, and lifestyle industries — including launching and scaling my own brand — I combine deep creative and technical expertise with hands-on business strategy to help brands design smarter, develop faster, and grow sustainably. My work includes fashion design, technical design, product development, apparel production, and brand & growth strategy — supporting brands in clarifying their identity, improving fit and product quality, and building growth-focused strategies. Here’s how I can help your brand grow: ➕ Fashion & Technical Design – Creative direction, concept development, sketching, flats, patternmaking, tech packs, construction details, trims, and fit development. ➕ Apparel Development & Production – End-to-end development, sourcing, costing, line planning, and production management with domestic and overseas factories. ➕ Brand Positioning & Identity – Market research, competitive analysis, target customer profiles, and visual direction that sharpen your brand’s unique positioning. ➕ Go-to-Market (GTM) & B2B Strategy – Launch planning, sales strategy, pricing, wholesale programs, brand partnerships, influencer collaborations, and distribution strategy. ➕ Business Growth & Partnership Strategy – Aligning design, operations, and marketing to improve visibility, drive revenue, and support long-term scaling. I’ve worked across fashion, lifestyle, wellness, and pet categories, helping brands sharpen their identity, streamline development, and scale through strategic execution and creative precision. If this sounds aligned with your goals, let’s explore how we can build something strong together.
