The Innovate Package
Trend forecasting, consumer research, retail analysis, product development and manufacturing service
FOR WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO THINK…
Throughout my career as a designer I have worked with many retailers and brands who have wanted to diversify their product stream.
In some cases, it has been brands that have never launched a product but they can see the opportunities to make their brand more diverse and accessible.
During my time in retail I worked with many overseas manufacturers developing new products and expanding successful ranges. Over the last 2 years I have consulted directly with textiles, plastics and ceramic manufacturers based in Portugal, China and India. This has given me a greater understanding of the development and manufacturing process and has greatly affected the way that I design.
Throughout my career, I have always been a keen follower of consumer trends and how they affect the products that I design. I believe that to have a successful range you need to understand consumer buying habits, design trends, your customer and brand but also have a good understanding of how the final product is manufactured.
The Innovate Package is a long development process where I research, design and develop the product range that will help move your business and brand forward.
KIND WORDS
When I worked with Louise she was my go to woman for all things trend! The way she absorbs information and looks at the world around her is super inspiring, and it takes a special level of talent to translate all that data into beautiful, commercial products and collections. It also helps that she’s great fun to be around and her enthusiasm is infectious!
