launching
designers.

Your creativity is the foundation. My role is to bring structure, strategy and storytelling so your work isn't just seen - it sells. With 30+ years in fashion marketing, merchandising and education, I guide fashion designers, students and instructors through every stage of the journey - from first concept, to lookbook to retail activation.

REal Projects.

THREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

01

Build a cohesive, retail-ready brand. From brand kits and portfolios to retail activation, present with professional polish.

02

I work with educators to create industry-connected learning experiences and residencies. 

03

Monthly support that keeps your brand or program moving forward with clarity.

 Selena here,

Your consulting & laUnch partner

Retail gave me instincts. Education gave me purpose. Strategy gave me direction. Now I bring it all together so emerging designers, start up entrepreneurs and educators can make their next move with impact. 

My favorite part of what I do? Watching creative work become tangible. From classroom collaboration to brand launch, each story shows how strategy meets execution.
