A luxury accessories brand built from the ground up — from first sketch to pitch stage.

Overview

Rosebud is a luxury accessories brand I founded from zero. That meant building the product, the strategy, the pitch, and the business case all at once. It placed 2nd at the Graves Business Plan Competition and is targeting a November 2026 launch.

Bringing a defensible, well-positioned luxury accessories brand to market from scratch with no team, no manufacturer, and no playbook.

Created tech packs, evaluated and vetted manufacturers, and locked in a partner that fits a luxury price point and a small launch run.

Built a full go-to-market strategy from positioning through pricing, with launch sequencing designed to protect scarcity while building distribution.

Tech pack & sampling

Conducted market and competitive analysis to shape brand voice, category whitespace, and a defensible price ladder. Secured grant funding through pitch competitions.
