CASE STUDY
Ethically Sourced in China: A Transformative Solution for Cost-Efficient and Manufacturing
Finding cost-efficient solutions without compromising on quality and integrity is a constant challenge. For a New York City creative entrepreneur, this challenge arose when she decided to commercialize her artwork and sell it in exclusive boutiques.
One crucial step towards achieving her goal was to find a more cost-efficient manufacturer for one of the metal components used in her products. She hired a consultant (myself) to find a solution. Through my research and exploration, an “Ethically Sourced in China” supplier emerged as an unexpected yet promising option.
