"Before consumers buy a product, they must be captivated by its story. 

Trends help make stories powerful, believable, and on-brand."

Gudy Herder is an international trend consultant, keynote speaker, and certified trainer based in Barcelona, Spain.

She helps brands and businesses anticipate trends and use them to develop products that inspire, tell a story, and ultimately, sell.

First and foremost, Gudy considers herself a visual creative passionate about scouting trends  in interior design & lifestyle. With a sharp eye honed by years of hands-on experience in international retail management, she observe trends as they emerge.

Trend development requires a keen esthetic sense and the ability to pick up on early signs before they grow into global movements. Working creatively to bring images, color, and materials together, these visual cues are developed into trends.

From a vast sea of information, abstract trends are transformed into seasonal trend reports and key visuals. Clients receive expert guidance at every step of the design and product development process, from concept to shop floor.

The result: powerful, story-driven collections that give brands a distinct advantage in today’s fast-changing retail landscape.

"We live in a moment with an overwhelming amount of information,

but how you filter and act upon it makes all the difference."
