AMA Design Consulting advises global retailers and growth-stage brands within fashion, footwear, accessories, home and lifestyle.

We are led by Design Director Anne-Marie Bodal, who brings 20+ years of experience across six countries. Our work starts with your brand and customer at the centre, and then the numbers: shopping behaviour, sell-throughs and returns. We identify the issues, then guide your teams to make the long-term changes that drive sales growth.

We work with your business through fractional leadership embedded in your team, or strategic advisory and founder mentoring.

Our experience spans executive design and product roles at Reliance Retail, Kmart Australia, MIMCO (Country Road Group), Lazada (Alibaba Group) and senior roles at Woolworths South Africa, covering apparel, footwear, accessories, jewellery, home and lifestyle, and across value, mid-market and premium price tiers.

Strong teams build successful products. We help you build both.
