- Susan has over 4 decades of experience in product development - including the marketing, sales, and design of textiles and the production of apparel/accessories/home products. She thrives on the challenge of creating a new product or service that will fill a void in the marketplace. Drawing from her in-depth knowledge and understanding of the textile and apparel industries - she continues to provide manufacturers with sourcing guides and trade shows that best suit their needs.
- In 1988, she co-founded a B2B publishing company to publish the first comprehensive guide to the New York City Garment Center. Currently, she is the publisher of The Sourcer’s Guide and the companion website AboutSources.com.
- In 2012, Power launched a tradeshow for Designers/Manufacturers in North America who were seeking low minimums, in-stock programs, for fabrics & trims – and sources for cut & sew production in the USA and Canada. The Fabric Shows are now coast to coast in the USA – drawing attendees from North America and beyond.
Susan seeks to collaborate with growing businesses that share her values. At this time, she is collaborating on a new project that will feature Made in the Americas products.
