Working directly with brands and businesses during production, samples, and key decisions

1. Sample looks good → production is different
2. Supplier says everything is fine → it’s not
3. You only find issues once the order arrives
By then, your in damage control and behind schedule.
From catching issues before production scaled, to making sure finished goods were exactly what they should be.
Identified quality inconsistencies and contaminated packaging during sample runs, before production scaled.
Supported transition to a new factory and aligned everything properly before manufacturing moved forward.
Worked directly with a Japanese manufacturer to align expectations early, review samples, and establish a strong working relationship before scaling production.
Visited both the office and factory to review production, identify communication breakdowns, liaise with management, and provide on-the-ground visibility to help move a delayed production forward.
I’ve spent years working directly with manufacturers across China and Japan, both for my own brand and alongside production teams on the ground.
I lived in China, completed a Master’s in China Business, and worked closely with factories throughout that time. Today, I run my own skincare brand, manufacturing in Japan, so I understand exactly what’s at stake when you’re not physically there.
I’ve seen how easily things can go wrong, from small details being missed to full production issues that only show up once it’s too late.
My goal isn't just to visit factories, it's to give brands the clarity and confidence to make better decisions.
When you work with me, it's just me. I'm the one who shows up, walks the floor, and calls you after. No account managers, no one passing things along.
I split my time between Australia and China throughout the year, working directly with brands and businesses during that time.
It depends on what you need.
Most of the time, you come to me with a situation, whether it’s checking production, reviewing samples, or something that feels off, and I go there and work through it in person.
I’ll walk the factory, speak directly with the team, check what’s being made, and keep you updated with photos, videos, and calls so you can see exactly what’s going on.
I mainly work with brands and businesses.
If you’re making a significant purchase or investment through a manufacturer and want someone to physically check it, that's something I can help with too.
I don’t focus on sourcing or finding factories from scratch. Most of the work I do is with businesses that already have a manufacturer, whether you’re about to place an order, already in production, or need someone on the ground to check what’s happening.
If you’re further along and need visibility or support at the factory level, that’s where I come in.
No, I’m independent and not tied to any manufacturer.
Yes, and it's one of the more common reasons people reach out. I’ll go in, assess what’s happening, and give you a clear picture of the situation.
From there, we can work out what makes the most sense to do next.
Yes, you can have your samples sent to me, and I’ll review them properly, looking at materials, finish, and overall quality.
From there, we'll then go through everything together in detail so you know exactly what to adjust before moving forward.
Fill in the contact form with as much detail as you can, what you’re producing, where you’re at, and what you need help with. I’ll take a look and let you know if it’s something I can help with. We’ll jump on a quick call to go through it properly and align on what needs to happen. If you need someone on the ground, I’ll go in, handle it, and keep you updated as things are happening.
It depends on the situation, location, scope and how involved it is.
The best way is to send through the details, and we can talk it through properly.
If you’re running into issues or about to make a major production commitment, let's talk. I can be your dedicated presence in China, ensuring that your vision is realized and your product is perfect.
