MY FASHION MARKET

FORTE

You've already got the ideas - let me help you teach, train and translate them into powerful branded materials that move your fashion business forward. I bring retail merchandising expertise and instructional design skills—meaning you can design plug-and-play training tools that transform how your team performs and how your brand is experienced.

You already know your fashion curriculum matters—but making it truly resonate with students takes more than just information. That’s where I come in.

I specialize in turning your expert knowledge into branded, visual instructional design tools that engage, educate, and empower your students. From course workbooks to digital lesson decks, I help fashion educators like you elevate your classroom and course experience with materials that look as good as they teach.

With 30+ years in fashion marketing, merchandising, and education, I understand the language of fashion and learning. Together, we’ll build experiences that your students won’t just pass—they’ll remember.

I'm ready to take your call.

For any retailer, big or small who wants to have a consultant to help them grow their clientele base, increase brand awareness, improve their visual presentation that will bring dollars. Basically Selena's talent and knowledge is a silent salesperson.

"Selena listens, imagines and crafts every detail of your vision."

She knows the right questions to ask to harvest even the ones you dared not to dream and factors them into the end result. My biggest aha moment was how taking this step toward hiring a professional elevated me to the level I was hoping to accomplish without compromise.
