External Consultant Cultural Textiles & Market Access
Eidgenössisches Institut für Geistiges EigentumExternal Consultant Cultural Textiles & Market Access
Feb. 2019 - Apr. 2021Zurich - JakartaContributed to the ISIP II project, specifically focusing on the "Tenun Ikat Sikka GI" initiative. My responsibilities included in-depth market and trend research, comprehensive value chain analysis, and the development of a targeted market access strategy for traditional Indonesian handwoven textiles, identifying potential buyers within the premium fashion segment. A significant part of the project involved the development of a traceability application as well as an online marketplace in collaboration with the agri-tech company Koltiva. This aimed to enhance transparency and facilitate direct market access for the artisans. I was also instrumental in preparing and submitting successful applications for showcasing Tenun Ikat Sikka at prominent sustainable textile trade fairs, including Pure London, Origins, Neonyt (Berlin), New York Now, and the Selvedge International Market. Furthermore, I spearheaded the initial brand launch preparations, encompassing the creation of media communication content, compelling visual imagery, and engaging video materials. My efforts resulted in features of Tenun Ikat Sikka in influential publications such as Swiss Textile Review Magazine and Fashion for Future. In addition to the market-facing activities, I conducted a branding and trend-forecast (SS20) workshop in Jakarta for Indonesian fashion designers and textile artists. I also conceived and designed the brand and communication concept to facilitate effective presentation at fashion/textiles trade fairs and within media outlets. A collaborative project with architect Antonio Scarponi (#ConceptualDevices) led to the creation of a new mobile display system for trade fairs and pop-up events. This entire project was executed in close cooperation with the Indonesian Foundation Sahabat Cipta (@SahabatCipta).
