Results-oriented entrepreneur and sustainability champion with 15+ years of extensive experience advising social impact enterprises and building sustainable textile and fashion-based businesses. I possess a proven track record of integrating ESG principles and reporting into business operations and culture, applying financial modeling to sustainable soft goods businesses, and fostering industry-wide partnerships. Through my consultancy, Bhoomki, I’ve advised small to mid-sized business owners on building impactful and innovative companies driven by accountability, efficiency, and ethics. Often hired to facilitate conference panels with a body of public speaking experience, I advocate for industry-wide social and environmental innovation in the fashion industry and possess a passion for helping entrepreneurs build profitable and responsible businesses.Experienced in retail, product strategy, circularity, textile history, finance, and international operations, I’ve had the privilege of running profitable multimillion-dollar creative agencies, a textile-focused non-profit and founding multiple ethical fashion brands. My 20+ years of experience in NYC has informed a people-centered organizational approach that’s allowed me to cultivate a high-level personal and professional network of corporate executives, manufacturers, community leaders, renowned artists, elected and appointed government officials, global corporate sustainability leads, media luminaries, and more. As an entrepreneur and team player with a love for collaboration, problem-solving and identifying talent, companies hire me to find solutions and strategies for projects as varied as originating a domestic apparel and footwear supply chain, leading sourcing strategy for a sustainable sneaker company, operationalizing TATTER (Brooklyn’s future home for all things textile-related), creating a workplace development model for refuge-seeking textile artisans in NC, designing and sampling a medical soft goods product line to reduce a hospital network’s carbon footprint, and for a decade, operating Bhoomki, a pioneering ethical fashion boutique in Brooklyn.Since 2016, I've led fashion instruction and social impact entrepreneurship at The School of the New York Times. I've lectured on the ills of fast fashion at The New York Times, USC's Annenberg School for Media & Communication, Terreform One, The Ms. Foundation, Fashion Institute of Technology's Sustainability Conference, Re/Source, Parsons School of Design, The Pratt Institute, UC-Berkeley, Duke University and Saint Ann’s School among others.
