About
As an experienced Product Development Manager and London College of Fashion graduate with a 1st Degree in Fashion Design and Development, I offer over 8 years of expertise in overseeing complete product development processes. My skills include translating creative concepts into detailed technical specifications, fostering collaborations with suppliers and manufacturers, and excelling in quality control and cost negotiations. I have a proven track record in crafting and managing critical paths for timely project delivery. My commitment to innovation has contributed to the success and growth of reputable fashion brands.
The project was to reimagine and launch LAPP's sportswear collections across the US, UK, and EU. Our goal was to create vibrant collections exploring color theory, graphic design, and seamless apparel. Collaborating with a small team, I led conceptualisation, design, and production processes, I oversaw the entire product lifecycle. Our designs established partnerships with leading brands like Flannels, Soul Cycle, and JR Fitness. These signature fitness styles gained prominence through notable personalities, propelling LAPP from a blog to an empowering athleisure brand amplifying women's voices through fashion. “Special thanks to Olive and Jess who are my right and left hands when it comes to bringing LAPP to life, I love you!” - Leomie Anderson
