Client testimonial: Sandrine b jewelry
“Leah is an exceptionally astute and dedicated professional who excels in discerning precisely what is necessary and offering insightful feedback. Her methodology resonated with me; she initiated our collaboration with a comprehensive questionnaire, reflecting her thoroughness and strategic thinking. Throughout our first session, it was evident that Leah had diligently analyzed my responses, directly addressing the specific needs of my jewelry business.
She presented me with a list of key actionable items that challenged me yet felt attainable. She played a pivotal role in sharpening my focus on crucial aspects of my business, starting with an analysis of product-market fit and crafting a nuanced questionnaire for my email subscribers—a strategy I hadn't considered previously. Additionally, Leah crafted a specialized email for a key customer. From the questionnaire's responses I yielded insights that will inform my future marketing and product development strategies. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a stock of best-selling items, a straightforward yet impactful recommendation.
Over four weeks of email correspondence, Leah's advice remained consistently relevant and considerate. Encouraged by her valuable contribution to my business, I am eager to continue to work with her.”

Client testimonial: eterea
“As a designer and creative, I really felt the need for business minded, strategic support at the launching of my collection. Leah’s experience with a wide range of luxury consumers and retailers has challenged me to critically assess my product mix, price point, and overall brand messaging. It turns out that every detail matters, and Leah had thoughtfully pointed out so many of them.
She has a strong understanding of how to marry authenticity with commerciality, by narrowing down my current initiatives to the most impactful few, and focusing on those. As a result, I successfully executed events that were low in cost but generated funds for future collection development, while gaining new organic customers.
Leah helped me manifest the possibility of making my own rules, instead of following the status quo of established brands and corporations.”
