Technical Design
A well-written tech pack is essential for precise and consistent garment production, ensuring effective communication between designers and manufacturers, improving efficiency, controlling costs, and guaranteeing quality. They streamline the workflow, minimize errors, and demonstrate a commitment to professionalism in the design-to-production process.
As a specialist in technical design, I excel in crafting industry-standard tech packs. My detailed specifications help streamline production, ensure accurate measurements, and provide top quality construction, fabrics, and trims. Along with lifelong sewing experience, my professional fit and patternmaking skills provide a solid foundation of fit analysis on flat patterns, 3D avatars and fit models. I take great pride in making sure each product I create is not only visually appealing but also comfortable and functionally superior.
Apparel Design
Bring your idea to life with the help of an industry professional. My design process is dynamic and resourceful, where I pull together concepts and ideas to build purposeful, market-ready products. In the realm of active and outdoor apparel, it involves transforming initial ideas into detailed sketches, refining concepts, and ensuring it passes a legit wear-test once in prototype stage.
Once in development, we refine the each design further, ensuring proper material selection, trim guidance, and color palette development - all with a close lens on sustainable manufacturing and material choices. This stage of the process ensure that the creative vision aligns seamlessly with functionality and brand identity.
Inclusive Size Grading
There is nothing more important to me than providing comfortable, functional clothes for anyone to be able to get outside and explore nature; without having to worry about easily finding products that fit them. Backed by industry training and fellow inclusive change-makers, I can help your brand assortment grow in tandem with improving overall fit.
Having fit consistency issues or need more standardized development processes? My experience with block creation and extended size ranges can set your company up for future success and lower return rates. I have experience fitting Misses, Plus, and Mens size ranges in a wide variety of product categories.

With her vast knowledge of the industry and brand building she has gone above and beyond. I cannot thank her enough for her willingness to go the extra mile by providing me with templates on how to make customer profiles and by setting up meetings with manufacturers for my startup company.
