Sustainability in Textiles and Fashion
​Over the years, I’ve collaborated with mills and factories across India, Turkey, China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Egypt, and Morocco.
I bring a proven track record in managing end-to-end product development, optimizing supply chain efficiency, and aligning technical innovation with strategic goals.
​
My passion for sustainable fashion deepened when I started using CLO 3D, discovering first-hand how digital tools can reduce waste, save resources, and pave the way for a more circular economy.
​
Today, I help fashion businesses evolve their production processes toward greater agility, efficiency, and sustainability.
​
With over 25 years in the fashion industry, I’ve built my career at the crossroads of tradition and transformation.
From the production floors of India to innovation hubs in Europe, I’ve led the full product life cycle, combining technical product development, digital creation, 3D sampling, sourcing, and quality management with a deep commitment to sustainability.
​
My hands-on experience spans global companies like STOLL, Next, Debenhams, C&A, as well as Mavi, and Boyner, in Türkiye.
​
I specialize in helping companies rethink the way fashion is produced. Whether you're a garment manufacturer, a designer, or a retailer, I develop tailored strategies and roadmaps that connect traditional systems with agile, digital solutions. Efficiency in production, smarter sourcing, and AI-powered tools aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re the future.
And I help teams get there, without losing what made them great in the first place.​

Real progress in fashion occurs when we connect the old with the new thoughtfully, strategically, and with purpose.
