Dr. Dominika Andrys is an Auckland, New Zealand-based cosmetics consultant and author of the recently published book, Beyond Beauty: How to Build Your Own Cosmetic Brand. In conversation with editor Tim Probert, Polish-born Dominika shares her considerable insight into new product development and helping indie brands get off the ground
Dominika Andrys (DA): I actually came to New Zealand from Norway. I was living in Norway and working for Regenics, a company producing salmon roe extract for the cosmetic industry, and I just received a job offer to be a New Product Development Manager for a contract manufacturer in New Zealand.
I thought it would be a cool adventure to come to New Zealand for a year. I've been here eight years!
DA: My Master's degree was in Biotechnology at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Poland. I then completed a Postgraduate degree in Cosmetic Chemistry at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.
