founder Colleen Brewer

At The Red Tortoise, I bring a distinctive edge to high end home product development—uniting creativity with commerce to deliver collections that stand apart. With a background as a publicist, magazine editor, product designer and merchant, I bridge aesthetic innovation and strategic market insight to develop products for clients that are not only beautiful, but purposeful and profitable.

I've led product innovation and creative direction for brands like Scandia Home, Matouk, Oscar de la Renta, and Frontgate, delivering compelling assortments that continue to drive growth today. I’ve worked with incredible makers all around the world. From concept to market, I consult on every phase—design, sourcing, execution, publicity and sales.

Whether you're celebrating a heritage brand or launching a new concept, I offer differentiating ideas and industry connections tailored to your audience, grounded in a deep understanding of the luxury market.
