Hi, I'm Geana and I love to help businesses align with their sustainability dreams. My goal is to change how products are made and that starts with ditching the competitive nature of the industry and looking towards collaboration and the sharing of knowledge.

Going from conventionally grown to ethically-made textiles doesn't have to be scary or break the bank. With over a decade of experience in the textile industry, manufacturing textiles, and running the day-to-day operations of an ethical business, I can simplify your path so that you can be confident as you make decisions and market your goods.

 

There are two ways I offer support:

1. Textile sales and understanding of the current industry.

Meeting minimums, building factory relationships, and navigating the textile industry can feel impossible as an outsider. I specialize in mid-weight organic cotton canvas and twill and can sell you stock directly when available. But even more valuable is that I can support you in understanding the current industry landscape so you can confidently source what you need and establish clear expectations and communications with your manufacturing partners.

2. Consults for leading your creative, sustainable business.

It won't always be easy, but the hard decisions still need to be made. How will you raise the money you need to meet order minimums as you commit to a more sustainable supply chain? How will you structure your long-term goals so that you can take the first step toward them today? I can help you get unstuck so that you can get to work on the badass, values-aligned business you dream of!

 

Does this hit home for you? Want to build a clear path forward?

In the last decade, I've partnered with companies large and small–from Airbnb and Blue Bottle Coffee to independently-owned, brick-and-mortar shops across the country. I’ve been invited to speak on the topic of sustainable business throughout my career from panels hosted by Oatly to the Fibershed Fiber Symposium. My business and products have been featured in online and print publications such as Sprudge, Barista Magazine, Sunset Magazine, Food & Wine and others. I have developed strategies for both wholesale and DTC channels through a pandemic, a recession, and a transition into motherhood.

I have celebrated massive wins and have made it through, what at the time felt like, major failures. GDS is here today because of community–because I've asked for help when I needed it. Like many have been there for me, I’m here to support you on your journey.

 

Let's build your dream!
