About Anette Zielinski
I\'m a highly qualified footwear developer with progressive product development experience at top brands including Nike, The North Face, Puma, and Diesel. I love bringing great concepts and beautiful designs to life. I’m a designer’s biggest fan and a factory’s best partner. I\'m known for reliable design support, material sourcing, clear, concise communication, and strong factory partnerships. I have a creative eye and the skills for logistics.I\'ve sourced and developed from global manufacturers and vendors across a broad range of footwear including performance tennis, fashion sneakers, sandals, high heels, men’s casual, outdoor performance, waterproof & insulated shoes. I never lose sight of supporting the design point of view, the end consumer, and the bottom line. The key questions being: Does it fit? Does it look good? Is it affordable? And can we duplicate in mass production? I enjoy seeking out new trend and sourcing opportunities through market research and global trade shows. I create compelling stories focused on unique materials and constructions and have worked hand in hand with the suppliers and design departments to bring these opportunities and innovations to market.
