🌿 Fashion Designer & Sustainable Product Developer
Sustainable fashion starts with thoughtful design, technical precision, and a deep understanding of impact. I help brands create garments and accessories that are not only beautiful—but responsible, safe, and production-ready.
I’m Elizabeth Mancuso, a fashion design and textile expert with 18 years of international experience and a postgraduate specialization in biomaterials and bio-objects. I work with conscious brands to develop sustainable products across all categories—from womenswear and urban fashion to lingerie, accessories, and childrenswear.
✅ Why sustainable brands choose me:
• Expert guidance on certifications (GOTS®, OEKO-TEX®, RWS®, FSC®, CPSC, Certi-Pur US®…)
• Smart material sourcing and low-impact design strategies
• Tech packs and construction patterns that minimize waste
• Circular thinking embedded from concept to final product
• Certified packaging solutions using FSC materials and compostable options (e.g. starch-based bags)
• Fluent, proactive communication with suppliers and factories
Whether you’re building a slow fashion label, launching a capsule collection, or improving your product lifecycle—I bring a rare mix of design sensibility, technical accuracy, and ecological integrity.
🌿 My services include:
• Sustainable Product Development
• Factory-Ready Tech Packs & Construction Patterns
• Material + Supplier Sourcing
• Certification Strategy & Compliance
• 3D Garment Mockups (CLO 3D)
• Packaging, Labeling & Impact Messaging
🌍 I’ve collaborated with clients in Argentina, the U.S., Europe, Australia, the UK, and China—helping them design cleaner, smarter products with clarity and care.
💬 Let’s build a fashion future that’s clean, ethical, and made to last.

Fashion tech pack designer with 10+ years of experience creating factory-ready tech packs, CLO3D 3D models, and digitized patterns for fashion startups and emerging brands for garments and accessories.
Fashion founders come to me when they're ready to get serious about production — and want to get it right the first time.
I create detailed, industry-standard tech packs, CLO3D 3D models, and digitized sewing patterns for fashion brands and startups across every garment category. With 10+ years of experience working with fashion brands in the San Francisco Bay Area, I know what factories actually need — and how to make sure your product gets made exactly the way you envisioned it.
Most of my clients are founders who are launching their first collection or scaling an existing line. What they have in common: a clear vision, a defined customer, and a product worth making well.
What I deliver:
— Tech packs built to industry standards: technical flat sketches, complete bill of materials, construction callouts, colorways, measurement specs, point of measure diagrams, and sample evaluation charts.
— CLO3D 3D models and digitized sewing patterns in DXF format — so you can see exactly what your garment looks like before committing to a physical sample, and give your manufacturer a pattern to work from.
— Fabric and trim sourcing guidance — find the right materials for your design, price point, and quality goals.
— Full service packages — brand consultation, design development, 3D model, complete tech pack, and factory referrals for founders who want one person handling the technical side start to finish.
— Design consultations — refine ideas, solve construction challenges, and make informed decisions before investing in sampling.
Garment categories I work in:
Activewear | Swimwear | Womenswear (RTW) | Menswear | Childrenswear (CPSC-compliant sleepwear) | Accessories & Bags | Loungewear | Outerwear | Golf & Streetwear
I specialize in complex and technically demanding products — the ones that require real problem solving, not just filling in a template. I've worked on products that have sold hundreds of thousands of units, and I bring that level of expertise to every project regardless of size.
Every project is done by me personally — no outsourcing, no junior designers. You get 10+ years of focused technical expertise and direct, clear communication throughout.
Turnaround is typically 2–3 weeks. You'll receive a personalized quote within 24 hours of reaching out.
Let's talk about what you're building.
