Where to find Elana:

What Elana Coaches On:

Figuring out what kind of products to offer and how to balance them.
Balancing licensing with a product based business.
Growing in smart ways that also support creativity and authenticity.

Plus:

“I honestly don’t follow a specific schedule for releasing new product because I work with the seasons and my own creative flow. I find if I try to stick to a schedule my products have less life to them. I try to have 2-3 larger collection launches per year, with additional products and designs released throughout as well. I also take regular stock of what is stagnant and what needs to be discontinued or price adjusted. ”
