Catalog or Product Line Review
A Catalog or Product Line Review is great for those who are just starting out in their product-based business, but is also a wonderful maintenance tool for more established brands. My background is in stationery, home goods, gifts and accessories, with extensive knowledge of industry standards in these categories: from wholesale terms and policies to fulfillment and buyer expectations. I offer a unique insight as both a product designer and a buyer. I am a former logo and brand designer with a focus on layout design, messaging and storytelling. This unique skill set allows me to offer detailed critiques, knowledge-driven feedback and results-oriented reviews.
