Any Advice?
“My one piece of advice for someone pursuing a career in fashion sustainability is to build relationships and be sincere. It’s a small industry and someone you meet one day, you will absolutely reconnect with down the road.”
What Is Your Biggest Sustainability Challenge?
“The biggest challenge is that these brands (and companies in general) are not set up to reward their sustainability achievements in the same manner that profitability is rewarded.”
