Founder
Trendies
Oct 2024 - Present

Trendies was born from a simple question: why is reselling luxury still so untrustworthy and outdated? We’re building a curated resale marketplace where technology and user experience come first — using AI, automation, and design to remove friction, eliminate doubt, and restore trust in secondhand luxury. I lead the product vision and operations, working with a lean team to turn a broken resale journey into a seamless, premium experience.
