Re-think how we make what we make. Drive the apparel Digital Twin model to make cool…
Experience
President
Sep 2017 — Present
Currently building the Fabric Digital Twin model to simplify fabric development and replication, allowing fabrics to be searched, selected, and matched by the numbers (just like color). Black Swan Textiles drives a Digital Twin model of product design and development using 3D design/engineering software to replace old-fashioned product development tools and integrate with actual production. The Digital Twin model eliminates a lengthy product development process and replaces line planning with open-to-buy as a model to drive sales and margin. Recently completed an assignment to launch a Digital Product Creation program (DPC) at Ralph Lauren.
