Planning an epic conference? Hospitality venture? Your new office HQ? I'll help you create defining moments and spaces that evoke community, conversation, & lasting connection. I've had the opportunity to gain experience on all sides of the table. I work directly with managers, chefs, DJs, musical artists, speakers, activity leaders, bartenders, hosts, back of house staff to inform the initial design. Then I've had the privilege to experience the spaces as they mature over many events and seasons, directly alongside the guests, learning and making tweaks along the way. I've worked alongside and designed experiences for people such as Richard Branson, Indra Nooyi, Peter Diamandis, Larry Harvey, Tim Ferris, Imogen Heap, The Roots, Kendrick Lamar, Nero, Paul Oakenfold, The Wailers and thousands more.

I have extensive knowledge in sourcing fabrics, product development, manufacturing, the circular economy, applying for funding, crowdfunding and marketing. As the founder of a sustainable apparel brand called NOVEL SUPPLY CO. and recipient of the UN Young Champions of the Earth prize, I want to help others navigate the complex world of sustainable fashion so that we can create a bigger impact collectively.

My family has been running restaurants and discos since the early '50s. I start working there when I was 14, and through the years I have been helping with public relations, managing, advertising, and everything that is needed to let people know and come back to my business. I have been also performing since I was 19 as a professional deejay, being listed in 2011, in a book written by the Italian journalist Riccardo Sada and presented at the Amsterdam Dance Event, about the most influential female deejays on the international path.

I have over thirty years of experience in retail and grocery supply chain, distribution operations, and warehousing with major retailers.

Retail is all about having the right product in the right place at the right time. A methodical approach to organizing and analyzing your sales data will help you draw important insights into how you can accurately forecast demand and optimize your allocation. Improved forecasts means less markdowns and more sales for you.

Having started a health food company without knowing the health food industry or how to run a business (call me crazy) has given me plenty of opportunity for finding out the hard way how it's done. Now, 8 years later, our products can be found on the shelves of Whole Foods Market, Sprouts and another 500+ health food stores across the U.S. and Canada. And I still run the business on my own, without any employees, because most repeatable tasks have been outsourced to independent business partners. Looking back it wasn't hard to get here and the road forward is much easier from here, but without knowing the path it can be daunting. So don't go down the road of hard knocks. Instead, take a short cut and take my advice on how to get on the shelves of the major retailers in the health food industry in months instead of years. I have done it for myself, and I've done it for others. This approach (which I paid a lot of money for to learn) is the one shortcut that changes everything. I will share it with you, and I will walk you through all the steps necessary to execute it. Product positioning, pricing, margins, supply chain, retailer product review process, product pitch, distributors, brokers, demos, tracking sales and boosting sales, etc. Or if you have a question about any one area, I'm here to help you with any one step in the process too.
