About Evie

Hello, my name is Evie and I specialise in product development for premium beauty and lifestyle brands. I have a passion for all things beauty & wellness and have worked in the industry for 12+ years between Australia and the UK. I started my career just as D2C brands where starting to take off, a hugely exciting time and I learnt so much from this period.

I will help you bring your new brand or product idea to life, effortlessly and efficiently. I have worked with a number of Sephora brands (Sand & Sky, Coco & Eve, Straand, Naydaya) from their ideation phase to launch and have led their NPD pipelines.

    Hi my name is Evie, I'm Australian and am based in Europe. I offer support to new and scaling brands in new product development, project management and product strategy.

    I have extensive knowledge of the beauty, wellness and lifestyle categories with 15 years of experience in NPD in the following categories: haircare, skincare, body care, tanning beauty, wellness, luxury, accessories, print, packaging and branded merchandise.

    I have worked as both a consultant to new brands preparing to launch and scaling brands who are growing their product range. As well as within beauty brand teams and as such, understand all the intricacies that come with launching, scaling and sustaining a new brand in a very competitive market. My expertise spans strategy, innovation, design, compliance, sourcing, cost-optimisation, production and retail.

    My key objective is to develop innovative, best-in-class product for new and existing brands. I prioritise product efficacy, innovative design and competitive margin.

    I've launched and scaled three new-to-market brands (Sand & Sky, Coco & Eve, Straand… *watch this space*) with a focus on innovation, new product development and operations.

    If you have a new product idea you are working on and need help bringing it to life, I would love to help. I can assist you at whatever stage in the process you're at - if it's coming up with an original idea, finding suppliers, arranging the product design, determining how position and market the product - I've got you covered. I'm also a timeline and pricing whizz so I'll help you to launch as soon as possible and also at the most efficient cost.
