Kris Galmarini is a designer and the founder of Neve & Hawk, cult California clothing brand, with strong ethical underpinnings and an authentic business ethos that Kris has honed over the last 10 years. Launching her debut collection of children's clothing catapulted her brand to success and an impressive wholesale client roster, but when Kris realised that her business had become disconnected from her passion, she took the bold step of pivoting right back to her design roots and refocussing her work on womenswear and direct to consumer sales.

In this episode she talks to me about the thrills and spills of succeeding at her first trade fair without an actual business in place yet, manufacturing in the US, the country where she has finally found manufacturing nirvana and how she runs her business day to day now, in a way that makes her feel fulfilled and happy.
