This episode of The Imprint podcast I sat down with Suzanne Oude Hengel, Knit Innovator and Founder of KiM (Knit In Motion)

We discuss Suzanne's career path on not ever working with a direct brand along with having such a niche design outlet.

Having taken part in design projects such as Construct 10061 with Timberland to setting up her company called KiM with 5 women located around the world. There is much more to come from Suzanne and I can't wait to see what happens next.
