Owner & Head Instructor @ Technical Textile Solutions

Michelle Roberts

I've been making things happen in the apparel industry since 1993.I started my career in yarn creation, fabric creation, dyeing & finishing, while earning my BS and MS degrees in all things Textile Science.Then I moved to Fortune 100 companies to head their development, sourcing, testing, color matching, & commercialization departments for apparel.And since 2010, I've distilled my knowledge & experience from the "Big Brands" down to *exactly* what apparel startups and entrepreneurs need to know to launch their lines efficiently, effectively, in an organized way, spending as little of their precious capital as possible in the process.I can't wait to help you, too. So grab a course or two and let's get started.
