About
I’m Jenny Holmes, a design director and development consultant specialising in end-to-end product development—from first concept through to technical realisation and delivery. My career spans international retail and ready-to-wear, and I’m known for combining innovative design thinking with strong technical know-how to help brands create products that are both commercially successful and beautifully executed.
Across my roles, I’ve led sourcing, development and production for fashion programmes, designed graphic T-shirts and sweatshirts, and consulted on rebrands and own-brand collection redesigns working directly with senior stakeholders. I’ve also built and managed supplier partnerships across multiple countries, and directed development processes including fit, construction, documentation and sample-room execution—so ideas translate accurately from sketch to sample to production.
