About me / About business or organisation:

Designer and Owner of Cala Ossidiana swimwear, which is manufactured in NYC. Our Italian fabric mill generates their own solar power and has developed new dye techniques and commissioned new custom machinery to achieve the swimwear colors and stretch fabrics that the customer expects, but with very little wastewater. Each purchase from the mill also contributes to a rain forest land trust.

Career history / Company history:

Expert in designing for up-and-coming New York fashion lines. Across all categories but especially for knits, sweaters, and swim.
Additionally, have consulted for several large manufacturers trying to bring their product to the U.S., including sweaters of natural bamboo fiber combined with cashmere.
