I’m Thuy Doan, an apparel product and design leader with 22+ years of experience turning customer needs and market opportunities into commercially viable women’s apparel. I lead the full product development process—from market research and concepting to fabric selection, CADs, technical development, costing, sampling, fittings, revisions, and production handoff—while balancing fit, quality, manufacturability, price point, and speed to market across multiple channels. I’ve partnered closely with sales, merchandising, sourcing, and production teams to build seasonal assortments and private-label programs for retail, wholesale, Amazon, and direct-to-consumer. I also work directly with overseas factories and suppliers on fabric development, trims, color/print, quality standards, and production feasibility, and I develop the technical packs and vendor-ready documentation needed to execute consistently at scale. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best, Thuy Doan
