About
I’m Paola Perazza, a designer and product developer with nearly 20 years of experience across footwear, accessories, and textile design in Brazil and Italy. I combine a creative eye with hands-on product management—developing colorways and color cards, guiding prototypes through bulk production, and building detailed technical packs with Pantone references.
I’m also skilled in creating realistic product imagery using AI tools before samples exist, and I manage end-to-end private-label orders—from product development and production follow-ups to packaging, labeling specs, and on-time quality checks. With strong command of English and advanced Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I collaborate daily with suppliers and factories in the Far East while keeping timelines and costs aligned.
