About

I am On Kee Chan, a product builder with 15+ years of experience guiding ideas from concept to market. I own end-to-end product lifecycles in apparel, from design and material selection to production readiness, supplier development, and market launch. I consistently translate creative concepts into technically feasible, market-ready products while optimizing cost, lead times textand margins.

Growing up in Germany and China, I bring a bilingual, intercultural approach to sourcing and production across Europe and Asia. I specialise in performance wear, sustainability, and building resilient supplier networks that reduce cost, improve margins, and shorten lead times while maintaining European product standards.
