I help commercial apparel brands turn rough concepts into clear, factory-ready apparel documentation.
If you have a sketch, reference garment, mood board, graphic idea, or early product concept, I can help translate it into a manufacturer-ready package that explains exactly what needs to be made. My work is built for brands that need more than a basic mockup. I focus on technical accuracy, organized production files, and design decisions that make sense once the garment moves into sampling and manufacturing.
As a Technical Apparel Designer with 12+ years across apparel design, garment development, and print production, I understand both the creative side of apparel and the production details that factories need to execute properly. My goal is to reduce confusion, avoid costly sample errors, and help brands move from concept to production with confidence.
I can help with:
• Apparel tech packs
• Technical flats and garment drawings
• Size specs and points of measurement
• Construction and stitch callouts
• Cut-and-sew garment development
• Artwork placement and apparel graphics
• Print-ready production files
• Screen print, DTG, DTF, HTV, sublimation, and embroidery setup
• Fabric, trim, label, hangtag, and packaging details
• BOMs and production notes
• Sample review notes and file cleanup
• Manufacturer-ready design documentation
My process is hands-on and production-aware. I can work from a loose idea, written direction, existing garment, brand reference, or rough sketch and turn it into clear technical files. I create technical flats, specs, construction callouts, trim and label details, artwork placement guides, and organized files that support sampling and production.
Because I also have hands-on experience with decoration methods like screen printing, DTG, DTF, HTV, sublimation, and embroidery, I design with the final production method in mind. Placement, scale, fabric behavior, material choice, garment seams, pockets, hoods, zippers, ribbing, labels, and print accuracy all affect the final product. I build files that help account for those details before they become production problems.
I work best with clothing brands, startups, merch companies, product-based businesses, and established companies that want apparel designed with both strong aesthetics and real manufacturing execution in mind. Whether you are developing a single garment, a capsule collection, merch drop, uniform piece, outerwear concept, fleece set, cut-and-sew product, or full apparel line, I can help organize the idea into a file your factory can understand.
What you can expect:
• Clear communication
• Clean, organized design files
• Production-aware details
• Accurate artwork placement
• Factory-friendly documentation
• Professional technical flats
• Thoughtful garment development
• Files prepared for sampling and manufacturing
My focus is simple: help you build the right file before you spend money on the wrong sample.
If you need a technical designer who understands how to turn creative direction into a garment your manufacturer can produce, I can help you develop the documentation the right way.
