Hello, I’m Larissa!
I've spent 15 years taking products from concept to shelf — across luxury brands, sustainable startups, and owner-led businesses where I built the entire operation from scratch.
These days I work with owners whose businesses have outgrown the way they're run. I find where time and money are leaking, work out what to fix first, and rebuild the day-to-day so the business stops depending on you being in every decision.
I've also built my own product ranges, from original artwork through to manufacturing and fulfilment — so I know the reality of making physical things with real constraints, and how fast an operation turns into a tangle of workarounds.
Every week I write about production economics, operational problem-solving, and the decisions that make or break product businesses.
