I don't just find suppliers, I help overseas brands develop, source and scale products in China. With 15+ years of experience working with factories, trading companies, and international buyers, I have managed sourcing, product development, OEM/ODM projects, quality control, and supply chain operations across a wide range of product categories, including consumer electronics, household products, home appliances, and lifestyle products. Having worked on both the supplier and buyer sides, I understand how to balance cost, quality, lead time, and supplier relationships to achieve long-term success rather than short-term savings. Based in Guangzhou (city of the Canton Fair), near Shenzhen and Dongguan, I provide seamless communication in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, helping overseas clients navigate the Chinese manufacturing ecosystem with confidence. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT from other sourcing agents: √ Product Development Mindset I don't simply collect quotations. I help evaluate manufacturability, supplier capability, product positioning, and long-term scalability. √ OEM/ODM Project Management From concept, sourcing, sampling, packaging, testing, production, and shipment, I manage the entire process from start to finish. √ Supply Chain Problem Solver I have handled quality issues, shipment delays, supplier disputes, and communication gaps, always focusing on practical solutions. √ Strategic Negotiator I secure competitive pricing without damaging supplier relationships. The goal is not the lowest quote today, but sustainable partnerships that deliver consistent quality and reliability. √ Think Like a Brand Owner Having worked with international buyers for years, I understand concerns about quality, timelines, compliance and communication, and address them proactively. √ Proactive Project Management I don't wait for problems to happen. I provide regular updates, identify risks early and keep projects moving without constant follow-up from clients. WHAT I CAN HELP WITH: 1. Supplier sourcing and product research (B2B business and drop-shipping e-commerce); 2. Consumer electronics & household product development; 3. Factory audits and supplier verification; 4. Quality inspection and shipment coordination; 5. Sampling, quotation and price negotiation; 6. Production follow-up and project management; 7. Canton Fair assistance and factory visits; 8. English/Chinese/Cantonese translation, business communication;
