Liza is AMAZING! I met her in October 2005 with just an idea for a clothing line and within 6 months I had my first run of production and was delivering to over 40 stores. I could not have done it without her. She is incredibly knowledgeable and practical and knows how to get the job done. Any roadblock I ran into she was able to solve. With her on your team you will succeed.

I was making bags from home one at a time on my sewing machine. I was limited in time and certain skills, but after meeting Liza I was able to manufacture hundreds of bags from a local vendor. I was able to offer stores wholesale accounts, increase production, and free up time to work on new designs. Liza's knowledge and expertise helped me make the jump quickly and with ease.

For me as a foreigner this class was the opening door to a treasure of information of how to get to know and understand the fashion industry of the United States. Liza's inspiring personality made it a true pleasure and I still benefit from the energy and encouragement she provided to get on with it!
