Strategic Guidance for Visionary Founders
Building a brand from the ground up takes more than vision—it takes resilience, strategy, and clarity of purpose. When I launched POND Los Angeles in 2018, I had no funding, no network, and no safety net—only a clear point of view and an unwavering belief in what I was creating. I’ve since built a brand that’s been celebrated for its design integrity, elevated function, and emotional resonance.
My journey from leading design at global fashion houses to becoming a founder has given me a 360-degree perspective on what it truly takes to launch and scale a brand in today’s competitive market. Now, I bring that experience to the table—for founders and creatives who are ready to take bold ideas and turn them into businesses with substance, style, and staying power. Whether you're just beginning or scaling with intention, I offer strategic, hands-on guidance tailored to where you are and where you’re going.
