An exciting project where I initially did the product development and thereafter coordinated the creation of three collections in collaboration with the succesful influencer and fashion icon Bianca Ingrosso. The collections were feminine but with a touch of edge and coolness. Bianca was diligent in making the products easy to combine and wear with different outfits and at various occasions. She named the products after family members and friends or connections to her italian background. The collections were very appreciated and helped attract interest in a younger target group.
Development of several private labels, of which one a unisexbrand for Guldfynd, DCOR, and one within engagement/wedding sector, Story of Love, designed to sell within Guldfynd, Hallbergs Guld and the finish sister company Kultajousi. The former project required good coordination and diplomatic skills to land.
Project management within a total overview of assortment, product display, brands, space management to lift profitability of the retailchains Guldfynd, Hallbergs Guld and Albrekts Guld. I managed several projects: external brands, private labels, open display of silverjewelry as well as assortment changes within the silver jewelry range.
A fun project where I initiated the contact and handled product development in a cooperation with the artist Molly Sandén. The result was several collections in silver with products ranging from extraordinary bodyjewelry to jewelry promoting the organisation Friends. Final collection was a diabetes collection to support the Swedish Diabetes Association and diabetes research. As Molly put it ” I´m higher than my highs and lows and I refuse to let the disease stop me from living my life fully”. The project helped increase the awareness of diabetes among our customers.
Guldfynd was early with picking up the development of social media and with launching a collaboration with a young blogger. The collaboration with Kenza Zouiten created a lot of attention and young fans lined up in great numbers whenever she visited a Guldfynd shop. I handled product development and the contact with Kenza and products were created from a scetch in a notepad or in direct meetings with suppliers. One of the most popular products was a snakering in silver.
Development of a silvercollection together with SOS Children´s Villages with the aim to raise money for the construction of Astrid Lindgren SOS Children´s Village in Central African Republic.
On a trendspotting trip to London, I came up with the the idea to create a new private label in silver based on fashiontrends and colour. My idea was to offer our customers an assortment of affordable fashion in silver and give them the opportunity to switch jewelry with clothing and mood. I was in charge of the project, and together with our marketing team created logotype, packaging, display material etc and an assortment of about 100 SKU:s.
