Hire the Best Activewear Freelancers
in the United Kingdom

Turning a design idea into something a factory can actually make is harder than most brands expect. I help fashion founders and brands bridge that gap, with tech packs and production ready designs that are clear, accurate and built for real manufacturing. With 8+ years in the apparel industry and a background as an import merchandiser managing factory communication, sampling, compliance and critical path timelines, my work goes beyond flat sketches. I understand what happens after the file lands in a factory inbox, and I design accordingly. I specialise in kidswear, babywear and activewear, but work across womenswear and menswear too. Whether you need a single tech pack for sampling or end to end support across a full season, I can help you get from idea to production ready specs without the back and forth. Services include: tech packs and spec sheets, garment and print design, CAD flat sketches (Adobe Illustrator), size charts and grade rules, and supplier-ready handoff documentation. Available for both one off projects and ongoing support.

I’m a fashion designer and creative strategist with 10+ years’ experience working across fashion brands in womenswear, menswear & accessories. My approach combines trend intelligence, product direction, and hands-on design execution to ensure every piece has a clear purpose within a range and contributes to a cohesive brand identity. From early concept and mood direction through to CADs, tech packs, and collection building, I focus on creating products that are both creatively strong and commercially viable. I also work closely with brands on aesthetic direction, storytelling, and product positioning, helping shape collections that not only look good but connect with the right audience and support long-term growth. What I can help with: * Product & collection direction (what to design + why) * Trend analysis translated into clear actions * CADs & concept design * Range building (hero / core / directional balance) * Brand identity, storytelling & aesthetic direction * Tech packs & manufacturer-ready designs If you’re looking for someone who can bridge strategy, storytelling, and design, I’d love to work together.
