I’m Tyler Gary... a senior graphic designer and creative director with 18+ years of design experience across branding, tech, apparel, and merchandise. I operate as a one-man creative team, handling everything from concept to final execution.
My expertise includes brand development, logo design, apparel graphics, marketing assets, and visual identity systems that are clean, intentional, and built to scale. I also specialize in photo editing, logo refinement, print design, and digital ads, ensuring your brand looks cohesive everywhere it shows up.
I don’t just design, I translate ideas into visuals that actually work. If you have a vision (even a rough one), I’ll bring it to life with clarity, precision, and strong creative direction.

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.

I help small businesses, SaaS teams, and agencies reach real WCAG compliance by combining deep front end knowledge with accurate manual testing. As a specialist who can fix issues when appropriate and guide developers when needed, I make the path from issue to solution clearer, faster, and more reliable.
I have supported accessibility work for high traffic, high profile sites including Honda, Acura, AMPM, and ARCO where speed, accuracy, and technical judgment were essential to meeting release deadlines. Cleaning up outdated components and nonsemantic patterns also produced clear performance gains and measurable SEO improvements reported directly by client teams.
► HERE IS HOW I SUPPORT CLIENTS ◄
• WCAG accessibility audits and actionable findings
• Manual testing with screen readers and keyboard only
• Accessibility remediation and component level improvements
• Design and pattern review using the APG (accessibility patterns for interactive UI)
• Developer guidance for accessible fixes and best practices
My work has helped teams resolve time sensitive accessibility requirements connected to litigation, reduce user flow blockers, clean up code and components across large websites, and ship updates on schedule.
I work in a steady, collaborative way that keeps teams informed and focused on meaningful progress. I enjoy making complex issues easier to understand and improving access for real users.
If you would like help with an audit, remediation, or a specific accessibility issue, reach out and I can take a look at your site and let you know the first things I notice.
