Fabric R&D | Product Development

Hi, I’m Dana! I’m a material R&D and product development specialist with over 20 years of experience in the apparel and soft accessories world. I help visionary brands turn ideas into tangible products, connecting them with the right supply chain partners to make it happen. From performance knits to technical wovens and ready-to-wear pieces, I know how to find (or develop) exactly what’s needed. I collaborate closely with a global network of trusted suppliers, balancing innovation with transparency, sustainability, and compliance every step of the way. Whether it’s refining a concept, managing production, or building long-term partnerships, I love bringing creative ideas to life, and making the process feel smooth, strategic, and even a little fun! I also work with startups, helping them shape solid business plans and navigate product development from first sketch to market launch. My approach bridges creativity and operational strategy, ensuring new ideas are bold, viable, and ready to grow. I look forward to hearing from you!
