I came from Sao Paulo, Brasil, with a suitcase and an eager to learn the English language plus a bit about fashion. After 10 years, here I am….a FIT alumni, working for a cool online boutique and thankful for all my accomplishments in life. I'm happy to say that I feel like I reached most of my goals. I'm very thankful to everyone who believed in me.

In life, we really learn by observing others and getting involved in all aspects of a business. No one in the fashion business takes the time to “babysit” you. You are the one watching out for yourself, learning from people’s accomplishments and mistakes, finding solutions for everyday problems.
I’m looking forward to meet people like me, who didn’t wait for things to come their way. I like people who get involved in amazing projects, are resourceful, savvy and fearless.

To reach your dreams, you MUST be committed to them, be reliable to others and have self-discipline.

Get out there, get involved, work for free, observe the best fashion mentors, learn with their mistakes, be flexible, be yourself.

Love, Tati

New Job, Exciting Experiences

Hi there,

I just want to introduce myself, my name is Tati and I called myself a fashion strategist. Recently, I decided to work from home, helping small companies in USA and abroad by being an advisor and consultant. Currently, I have one client in Sao Paulo, Brasil, who is willing to export their leather goods to New York. In October of 2010, I went to Sao Paulo to meet the owner and the designer. During my stay, I visited their manufacturing site and organized their production line. I was able to maximize the productivity level by aligning the staff accordingly to production, minimizing waste of time and goods.

I'd love to share my ideas to aspiring designers and business owners here on my blog. I can share what I know from the fashion industry and would love to answer what you would like to know about the fashion industry. Please send me your questions and I'll answer here, so everyone can have the information available at any time.
