About Me

Hands-On Denim washing R&D and process leader with 20+ years across Romania, Turkey, China and Bangladesh. I treat wash

development and bulk production as one system — lower cost per garment, lower water, energy and chemical use, and

washes that actually reproduce at scale. At Epic Group I built and scaled a new washing system in 10 months (teams of

up to 25), initiated the CleanKore partnership, and delivered 30% lower washing costs, 40% lower water & energy use,

and 30% lower chemical use . Deeply hands-on with advanced sustainable tech (laser, ozone, e-flow, CleanKore, PP

free) alongside all traditional wash techniques.
