sessions
I work one-on-one with designers and brands on fashion technology strategy and EU compliance. I won't build it for you. I'll make sure you know exactly how to.
Book a session01What we can cover
Bring any of these
Digital product passports
What a passport needs to hold, how to choose a provider, and how to roll one out across a collection without stalling production.
NFC in garments
Chip choice, placement, encoding, and vendors, based on what held up on a runway and through the wash.
AI voice agents
Where an agent actually helps a small brand, which tools to use, and how to set one up yourself.
AI strategy
How to bring models from Anthropic or OpenAI into your operations without overbuilding or overspending.
Business strategy
Positioning, pricing, and sequencing for fashion tech products and the brands that use them.
02How I work now
Consulting only
What changed
I don't build it for you anymore
I no longer build digital product passports, voice agents, NFC programs, or other systems for individual designers or brands. Sessions give you the plan, the process, and the vendor shortlist so you can do it yourself or brief the team you hire.
ESPR sessions
Strategy, not legal advice
I help you understand the regulation and plan your path to compliance. For legal sign-off on your specific products, work with qualified EU counsel. I can help you prepare for that conversation.
03Selling into Europe
ESPR, on one page
If you sell clothing, accessories, or footwear in the EU, the ESPR will shape what you disclose, how you handle unsold stock, and eventually what travels with every product as a digital passport. Here's where things stand.
01Jul 2024
In force
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 sets the framework for product rules, including digital product passports.
0219 Jul 2026
No destroying unsold stock
Large companies can no longer destroy unsold apparel, clothing accessories, or footwear. Medium-sized companies follow in July 2030. Micro and small companies are exempt.
03Mar 2027
Standard reporting
Large companies report discarded unsold products in a standardized format.
042027 · indicative
Textile rules
A delegated act for textiles and apparel is expected, setting passport and ecodesign requirements. Rules typically apply about 18 months after adoption.
Current as of October 2026. Dates marked indicative depend on the European Commission's working plan and can move. Sources: Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) and the ESPR 2025–2030 working plan.

03
Meet

05Questions
Who are sessions for?
Independent designers, small brands and design houses, and founders building fashion tech products.
Will you build my passport, NFC program, or voice agent?
No. I stopped building systems for individual brands. I'll walk you through how to do it, what it costs, which vendors to look at, and what order to do things in.
Is an ESPR session legal advice?
No. It's strategy and planning from someone who has built passport systems. Confirm product-specific obligations with qualified EU counsel.
How should I prepare?
Add a few lines about your brand and goals when you book. If you have line sheets, a tech pack, or a current setup, have them ready to share on Zoom.
Who will I meet with?
Me, Brandon. Consulting is just me.
