Sylvia Heisel is a fashion-tech strategist, speaker, and consultant specializing in additive manufacturing, digital fashion, and sustainable innovation for apparel brands and manufacturers. 

Named one of the “25 Forward Thinkers Defining the Future of Fashion,” “Top 100 Women in Wearable and Consumer Tech,” and “12 Amazing People You Need To Know in New York Fashion Tech,” Sylvia is recognized for her ability to translate complex technologies into clear, actionable insights.

Before shifting her focus to technology and innovation, Sylvia spent over two decades as the designer and CEO of her eponymous women’s eveningwear brand. Influenced as much by contemporary art and architecture as by fashion, her collections were carried by leading specialty stores across the U.S. and featured in every major fashion publication of the era.

In addition to her work with human apparel, Sylvia’s long-standing passion for animals has grown into ongoing projects in design for dogs.
