I’m Jorge Tirado, a freelance Designer, Illustrator and Creative Director from Los Angeles, California. I explore vibrant and colorful concepts with inspirations of urban art, video games and pop culture. I specialize in Merch Design & Illustration commissions.

Fashion founders come to me when they're ready to get serious about production — and want to get it right the first time. I've spent 10+ years making tech packs, CLO3D models, and digitized sewing patterns for fashion brands and startups. I know what factories actually need, and I've worked on products that have sold hundreds of thousands of units. Most of my clients are launching a 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 models and digitized sewing patterns in DXF format — see exactly how your garment looks and fits before committing to a physical sample, and give your manufacturer a pattern they can cut from directly. — Fabric and trim sourcing guidance — 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 problems, and make informed decisions before you spend money on sampling. Categories I work in: Activewear | Swimwear | Womenswear (RTW) | Menswear | Childrenswear (CPSC-compliant sleepwear) | Accessories & Bags | Loungewear | Outerwear | Golf & Streetwear I specialize in complex, technically demanding products — the ones that need real problem solving, not a filled-in template. Every project is done by me personally. No outsourcing, no junior designers. You get 10+ years of focused technical expertise and direct communication throughout. You'll receive a personalized quote within 24 hours of reaching out. Let's talk about what you're building.

From swimwear and activewear to tailored dresses and menswear, I have extensive experience managing collections from initial concept through to production, including collaborating with overseas factories. 📚 Currently, I’m attending Parsons School of Design, pursuing a certificate in 3D CLO to expand my expertise in cutting-edge 3D design technology.

Additional Information: 👘 3D AI Rendering Technology: 3D AI rendering is an evolving technology, it offers great value for web pre-order sheets, social media marketing, catalogs, and look books to gauge customer interest before production. This can save significant time, capital, and resources, though some limitations may apply. I charge an adjusted rate of $75/hour for 3D rendering-related work. 👚 Garment Manufacturing Services: While I am highly experienced and well-versed in the manufacturing process, my passion lies in designing rather than managing production. Manufacturing services-such as tech-pack emails, art files, fit calls, or fabric and trim sourcing-can be time-consuming and often extend over months or even up to a year, depending on the project. Due to the complexity and length of this process, I charge an adjusted rate of $65/hour for manufacturing-related work. However, I remain fully committed to supporting you through to the completion of your physical product if this service is needed. ⏰ Project Timeline: Most projects are completed within two weeks, from initial sketches to finalized tech packs. 📜 Contract Details: To ensure smooth collaboration, I require a “weekly payment amount” of＄20.00 to be specified in Upwork contracts. This prevents contracts from remaining open without active work. 👫 Let’s Collaborate! 👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏾 📩 I'm excited to discuss your project and explore how we can bring your design concepts to life. Feel free to reach out—I promise you won’t be disappointed! 🙏 Thank you, Brittany
