13 years of experience in production management. Main areas: shoes, accessories, materials and packaging. Sustainable development expert.
The company decided to create a new department and I was asked to head it. The main task was to develop new materials and improve the already used (textile, leather) trims and packaging. I was also offered to strengthen the team in the Department of Sustainable Development
In the process of working with sustainable materials, I identified for myself the points with which I did not agree and was convinced that it could be done differently. From that moment on, I began to lead the development of creating an alternative to leather from agricultural waste. Huge experience with shoes and bags plus understanding of the development process has paid off.
In the process of working with shoes, I had a crisis, I began to think about ecology and an oversupply of products in the world, I no longer wanted to create another product that would soon end up in a landfill and begin to have a negative impact on the environment. And from that moment I began to work mainly only with sustainable materials. I created biodegradable sneakers and was looking for investments to launch a new brand, so I met the founder of Pangaia and I was offered to implement this project together. Since that moment, in addition to shoes, I also launched hats and various accessories, most of which were immediately sold out. At the end of the work, I was the head of accessory and also led various BTB projects.

Often brands came to me with an idea or sketches, and my task was to launch a product from scratch. Team building, selection of factories, creation of samples, selection of materials, budgeting, quality control, production start-up, logistics, all these duties were my responsibility.

It was a great success, a large number of people went through the training, I also created an online course that is now freely available and continues to help.
