About The Founder, Karri Ann Frerichs
Thanks for visiting AltitudeShowroom.com and learning more about me – Karri Ann Frerichs. I consider myself a fashion entrepreneur and I love calling San Francisco my home. This city is filled with endless creative and entrepreneurial talent, and I find myself constantly inspired.
My business as a fashion sales rep and showroom is focused on increasing the sales accounts and awareness for innovative, up and coming fashion and accessory designers. I love working with boutique owners and national buyers who are excited to discover the next great thing in fashion and accessories. The passion for my job comes from getting excited about a new collection and finding a market with customers who love it as much as I do.
I pride myself in working with talented and competitive new brands and by innovating the traditional job of the fashion sales rep and showroom through this incredible website (for which I owe a million thanks and continued appreciation to an amazing engineer). I can confidently say that www.AltitudeShowroom.com is unparalleled in this industry by any showroom or fashion sales rep website that I have found, and I am proud to position myself as a leader of the next generation of showrooms.
In addition to www.AltitudeShowroom.com, I consult with new fashion brands and recent design graduates to help them ensure their new brand is "Market Ready." And, in May 2010, I began teaching part time in the Fashion Department of City College San Francisco.
I listed my additional career experience below. Thanks again for taking the time to learn more about me and I look forward to answering any questions you may have. Please feel free to call me directly at 415.912.7331 or email me.
