About

Artisan luxury textiles, hand-made production practices, international sourcing, accessories and home sector retail relationships. Coach and consultant, early stage ethical entreprepreneurs.

Founding and running NOMADIC THREAD SOCIETY has been the adventure of a lifetime. My artisanal luxury lifestyle brand is the culmination of an insatiable appetite for global travel and traditional textiles combined with 20+ years experience as a fashion and wardrobe stylist in NYC. Devotion to eclectic beauty and haute craft are central to the brand's aesthetic, while sustainable design and ethical consumerism have become the backbone of my mission. Nomadic has recently transitioned to a B2B focus - offering consulting, sourcing, and development to like-minded brands. NTS also offers luxury gift and premium sourcing and production for companies seeking to promote themselves sustainably. I think of myself as a light saber for hire for overworked founders, for companies seeking to add artisanship and authenticity to their product range, for lifestyle start up's making their first plans +++
