Kirsten K. Harris — Founder, EarthFirst Consultants®
EarthFirst Consultants® was founded from lived experience across the decisions that shape whether sustainable innovation actually reaches the market — product, sourcing, materials, manufacturing, retail, and executive alignment.
Many advisors describe credentials. I prefer to describe where I have done the work.
My career has crossed the full apparel value chain — at Nike, Amazon, Nordstrom, and NILIT® — from product systems and private-label sportswear to premium retail, materials innovation, and commercial adoption.
That sequence gave me a perspective I could not have built from a distance: how ideas move through real organizations, where they stall, and what must align before the market can adopt them.
I work with brands, manufacturers, and material innovators who are ready to close the gap between what they have built and what the market is willing to adopt. That gap is where EarthFirst Consultants® does its best work.
