As my first industry job, I was a product developer and later, was asked back as the Head of Product development at First Choice Distributors. We dealt with clients such as Lowes, Farmers, and Myer. Client management, print design, and buying trips were my main responsibilities.
In 2021, I was provided with an opportunity to work with a start up, Savic motorcycles, a high performance electric motorcycle company based right here in Melbourne. A business focused on the expertise of staff all over the country and the world to introduce the first locally assembled electric motorcycles. I was brought on the team to work in both gear and apparel. I took this opportunity to really spread my wings and have a more intricate understanding of not just the manufacture of garments, but also to the incredible new recycled materials on the market. Speaking with companies such as Ventile, Evrnu, and experts of textiles science and motorcycle safety with one of the top minds in the country. We made leaps and bounds in introducing recycled materials in both casual and safety gear for motorcyclists, scooter riders, and E-Scooters.
