I built Connect because I lived the problem.

I started as a fashion designer in London and worked with several British fashion brands. I later completed a master's focused on accessories.

I then worked for Chanel through two of its Italian luxury leather manufacturing companies, where I led Creative R&D and worked with several brands across LVMH and Kering.

On both sides, I saw the same problem: Designers struggled to find the right Suppliers, while Suppliers struggled to reach the Designers who needed what they made. That is why I built Connect.
