Developing your idea of a brand : concept, direction, consumer profile, pricing, brand identity ( the more you time spent on this stage the deeper concept you get so quality of work is very price you are willing to pay dependent )

Collection direction and design language development. I have worked in a wide variety of styles from classical to gothic so really enjoy a challenge.
