About Connie Bourgeois

After 12 years in the fashion industry with roles at companies large and small across the product life cycle, Connie decided to go freelance. Offering design, sourcing, development, and production management services, Connie’s client roster and workload quickly exceeded her 40 hours per week, so she hired a team and launched her own firm, Conjetta Designs.
