Many of our clients usually come to us with just an idea in mind, but absolutely no plan of how to make it happen.
They wish to create a footwear collection, or a specific shoe, but without knowledge of which materials, suppliers, or manufacturers are apropriate, the budget that is needed for their project, and worried of getting frustrated or cheated in the whole process.
Our goal is to make sure these clients leave our office with a complete project in their hands, ready for market and knowing it will work!
