About us

Design Smarter. Produce Better. Make a Positive Impact. We are revolutionizing clothing manufacturing through a network of U.S. based smart factories. Now, independent designers and influencers have access to the same manufacturing and design capabilities as large corporations. Accessed through our proprietary FITos mobile app and executed through our AI assisted digital lean manufacturing, we have reduced time to market by 60%. We are bringing sustainable apparel manufacturing back to the United States. Pleneri was developed to be different. To not just make apparel, but to reimagine the process and increase access to a timely and higher quality product. Down to our core, we appreciate and admire the art of production, of creating something. The art is not lost in Pleneri's mission. And of course, our team is what makes this all possible. We have assembled the right kind of industry talent, leaders who knew how broken the apparel supply chains had become, and who are dedicated to shaking it up. They bring experience, innovative thinking, and true passion.

    Helping freelance fashion designers find well-paying clients 💸 | My students double their income and quit their day jobs 💃 Learn how 👇

    Do you know the #1 sign that you're an *excellent* freelancer? 👏 Your clients keep coming back...and back...and back. When you do an exceptional job, your clients will return for more. Not all of them. Not always. (Maybe there was a personality conflict, or they had 'different' work standards 🤣, or some other thing...) But at least *some* of them should be coming back. THAT'S a sign you're an *excellent* freelancer. 💪 The photos on this post are from my last in-person event in NYC, back in July 2018. Six years later, I'm (finally) hosting another one. 🗽💃💎 I am *extremely* humbled that some of the fashion designers who were at my event in 2018 are coming back in 2024. Special shoutout to Kayla Hedwall, Lauren Westenhiser and Andrea Muller who are included in these photos, and who will be included in the ones we'll take this September. (With a professional photographer this time! 🤣 📸) I take that as a sign that I am doing a good (maybe even excellent?!?) job at helping and leading this community of freelance fashion designers. 🥹💖🐆 Will I see you on September 23 at SFD in NYC (SFD = Successful Fashion Designer)? It's an in-person networking event for freelance fashion designers, and I would LOVE to see your beautiful face! We have sold 67 tickets so far (!!!), and heads up if you haven't snagged your early bird ticket...prices go up soon. We have so 👏 much 👏 good 👏 stuff planned... Food and drinks Live freelance coaching Our very own step and repeat (omg yessss) Bonus pre-event trainings And more! Plus, massive shout-out to our gold sponsor, Pleneri who will be on-site with live demos to share their (ahmazing) software and app, FitOS. It's an all-in-one app to go from inspiration to tech pack: design, organize, and get to market faster than you ever have before. It's launching soon, and I got a preview of it the other week and was like 😳🤯😲. 🎟 Want more event details? Let me know in the comments and I'll drop you a link. Edit: Added Lauren Westenhiser who literally just bought her ticket right after I posted this! 👏

    Here's everything that's going into our in-person event, SFD in NYC ($15k+)... The fashion industry's only networking event for freelancers! September 23rd, NYC 💥💎💃 A couple people have said they'd love to know what goes into planning something like this, so here goes! To put on a 2.5-hour IRL networking event, here's what our to-do list looks like... 🤪 Choosing a name Choosing a tagline Booking flights/lodging Finding/securing a venue Picking appetizers + drinks Creating sponsorship packages Pitching to secure sponsors Securing a photographer Figuring out ticket pricing Writing/designing ticket sales page Massive FAQ list Setting up lodging recs Continual promotion (across 5 platforms) Setting up online community for attendees Nurturing online community Pre-event training with attendees Ordering raffle swag (yes, we'll have swag!) Text + email reminders to attendees Printing name tags Getting drink tickets Setting up QR codes Design/order step and repeat (yessssss) Presentation + coaching materials And 738 other little things I can't even remember... (Plus, I'm doing a live podcast and hosting an educational session at Magic the same day, as well as a VIP meet & greet.) 😭 It's a lot of work. And the $15k investment doesn't even include me and my team's time. Harsh truth... We actually lose money on every ticket from food + beverage costs alone. 🫠 But to me, it was more important to make it affordable for people to come. 🙌 I know we could have hosted something more casual that didn't cost as much. Because it's more about getting together IRL and having that human-to-human connection. But I really wanted to create a MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE and make it special. (Did ya see that we're getting a step and repeat?! Talk about some serious photo opps!) So, we decided to go all out. 💥💎💃 I would love, LOVE, LOVE (!!!!) to see you there! Early Bird tickets are on sale now. Comment 'BIRD' and I'll drop ya the link. (Oh, and if you feel like you won't belong, I PROMISE you will. SFD folks aren't your typical fashion industry divas. We're real real nice. Get outta your comfort zone and COMEEEEEEE! 🤗)
