My 30-Year Journey in Fashion (Part 1)

What does it really take to build a career that spans more than three decades in the fashion industry?

In this special solo episode, I step out from behind the interviewer’s microphone and share my own story for the first time. From discovering a passion for sewing in high school to studying fashion design, working for iconic brands like Club Monaco and Reebok, surviving the fast-paced New York fashion scene, and eventually building my own clothing brand that landed Google as a client—this is the journey that shaped who I am today.

This episode isn't just about career milestones. It's an honest look at the realities of working in fashion: the long hours, unexpected layoffs, entrepreneurial highs, industry disruption, and the difficult decisions that come with changing seasons of life.

If you've ever wondered how I went from fashion product development to helping fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands grow through SEO and AI visibility, this is where the story begins.
