Hi, I’m April Dawn Palozie (Puh-low-zee), but everyone calls me Pozie.
Raised by a hippie in St. Petersburg, FL, I traded in palm trees for the big city lights—spending well over a decade building my career in New York and more recently Los Angeles. I’ve worked with leading brands across beauty, fashion, CPG, luxury, consumer tech, lifestyle, and food & beverage.
With 13+ years of experience across trend forecasting, brand and marketing strategy, product and merchandising development, communications planning, media, business development, and sales, I bring sharp cultural insight and strategic alignment to every project, with a finely tuned eye for what’s next in lifestyle, fashion, and design—skills honed further while earning my second degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2018.
From 2020 to 2024, I worked at WGSN in marketing consultancy, trend forecasting, and sales, and I’m currently the Director of Marketing at BELLAMI, where I’m focused on growing brand equity, market share, and overall profitability. I also lead my own consultancy company, BRAINCHILD, partnering with brands on consumer, brand, product, and sales strategy.
This site highlights the depth of my work across the industries I’m passionate about—luxury, fashion, beauty, culture, lifestyle, and design—showcasing meaningful projects that have driven lasting brand growth.
I’m also eager to meet forward-thinking creatives and collaborators.
Thank you for stopping by—I look forward to your hello.
xx,
Pozie
