But we didn't pause for a moment and continued with the next phase of our design.
The studio was alive with urgency as everyone poured their energy into the "Glimpse of Dawn" collection. For me, every stitch and pattern in my design carried my stories, dreams, and emotions.
"The timing is perfect today. Let's have a chat with William."
William's expertise was in design, but he had a strong social network including connections with a partnered company. He had a deep understanding of the market. "Let me handle it. I'll set up a meeting with him," Gabrielle offered. She had a deep relationship with William, so I felt at ease leaving the task in her hands.
I arrived at a nearby café before the agreed time. The soft jazz music and warm ambiance created a cozy yet elegant atmosphere.
I selected a table by the window and watched the busy pedestrians pass by while my mind was filled with hope and anticipation for the future.
Soon, Gabrielle and William walked in. Their laughter filled the café with a refreshing warmth that drove away the chill in the air.
"Long time no see, William. We wanted to chat with you about our brand's new project." I smiled as I extended my hand toward him with sincerity in my eyes. William seemed quite surprised, but he soon regained his calm demeanor. He shook my hand and sat down to listen intently as I laid out the vision.
I explained the inspiration behind the "Glimpse of Dawn" collection, the design philosophy, and the progress we'd made so far.
In the process, I highlighted the importance of data analysis in defining our market position and enhancing our designs. I also noted that we'd like to have diverse perspectives within the team.
William listened closely and occasionally nodded in agreement. I could sense a spark in his eyes coming from the recognition of being valued.
After I finished, he took a moment to share his thoughts. "It sounds like a fascinating project. I'd be happy to join.
"Though my expertise lies outside of design, I've always been interested in market trends and data analysis. Maybe I can offer a different angle for your team." Gabrielle and I exchanged a smile and were relieved to have secured an essential help for our design. William's analytical skills could provide accurate market insights and guide us in perfecting our designs.
Later, he confided in me that he'd always known about our ongoing conversations and developments but was saddened that he was never formally invited to be part of the project.
It was partly because I'd never known him personally and wasn't sure what kind of person he was. He'd always been polite toward me, and he was on good terms with Gabrielle. It was only when I attended their wedding that I realized they'd been together all along.
But that was another story. Right now, I was wholly focused on work
As everything fell into place, our team was ready to dive into preparing for the next stage of development.
