About

After working with various global brands for several years, I decided to start my own business and offer consultancy services.

With over 20 years in the denim industry I've developed a solid expertise in jeans development and production process. I have a wide experience within the field from building the initial idea, creating the collections, all the way to designing the consumer experience and in-store communication.


My main focus has always been product, branding and design in denim development and I have significant experience in building the right supply chain with a sustainability-focused strategy.

At WEFT, various consultancy projects can be designed based on the requirement. All segments within denim design and value chain can be covered by my network's support with huge skills, expertise and knowledge.

CONCEPT



One of the most interesting parts of denim is to work on brand concepts. I have been fortunate to build two in-house brands for Varner from scratch with design, identity and universe.


This could also be project based as part of a sustainable strategy. One example is the on going focus to reduce water usage in denim production. This was a great project together with Candiani, Baykan Denim, Nordic Ocean Watch and SIGG, Swiss water bottles.

“The ocean and our nature has been created to perfection over millions of years. It needs to be kept safe by us showing it respect. We can’t just trash it because we’re too lazy to take action.” - Emil Kjos Sollie / Nature & action photographer.

SOURCING


To get the right balance in your production you need to have the right suppliers.


Set the portfolio based on the needs and build long terms goals together with your manufactures.
