About Me

I help founders, creative leaders, and legacy organizations navigate growth, transformation, and change.

Over the past two decades, I have led initiatives across fashion, education, retail, manufacturing, and cultural institutions, helping organizations align strategy, storytelling, operations, and execution.

My work sits at the intersection of creative vision and business systems, translating complex challenges into clear decisions and sustainable growth.

I also teach graduate-level fashion, branding, and communication courses at Parsons, FIT, and Berkeley College, bringing industry practice directly into the classroom and classroom insight back into the industry.

"Dawn has the rare ability to move seamlessly between strategy and execution. She helped us clarify priorities, align stakeholders, and build systems that continue to support our growth."
