Merchandising, Marketing & Brand Strategy Consultant

[ABOUT]

Caroline Dilsheimer has spent over a decade working in fashion and ecommerce and has never been particularly good at staying in one lane.

Working across merchandising, product, creative, and marketing at Anthropologie, Nuuly, and Nordstrom, she’s built a career around a simple question: what will make people care about what we’re putting out into the world?

She’s always looking for what’s next—researching, traveling, observing, and connecting the dots to turn emerging ideas into things that resonate with the right audience. She knows how to turn ideas into action, translate across teams, and analyze performance to sharpen what comes next.

Today, she works independently with businesses on merchandising, marketing, brand strategy, and the occasional problem that doesn’t have a name yet.
