“I had the pleasure to work with Nalini Arora as a hired contract Designer for a very critical launch of Women’s Fall footwear. Since then, she has designed the past 3 season’s for OluKai Womens footwear. Nalini’s knowledge of the Industry, and well as her impeccable style translated perfectly into the projects that she designed for OluKai.  She is very organized, attentive and reliable. She interacted with the OluKai Women’s team as if she was a fulltime employee. Her client dedication of “quality vs. quantity” ensures that her passion for each and every design is perfectly executed. I would highly recommend her Design services.”

She also understands and values deadlines and she is always very specific and detailed in her sketches and designs. She is a team player and was always willing to help out with any project that we needed help with.”
