I've managed several small fashion production businesses with wholesale clothing and jewelry lines. I personally handled over 200 wholesale accounts and managed the retail locations attached to production facilities, as well as off site retail locations. I have extremely strong customer service and sales skills. I have worked in several high end sales venues in fashion selling couture, RTW fashions, and knitwear. I've also designed and made pieces for private customers on the fly in less than 24 hours.
