I am a womenswear fashion designer and product development specialist with 8+ years of experience across womenswear, loungewear, ready-to-wear, embellished garments, and branded merchandise. My background covers fashion design, technical design, sampling, sourcing, and factory communication — helping brands transform creative ideas into clear, production-ready products. Based in Shenzhen, I have access to local fabric markets, trim suppliers, sample rooms, and apparel factories, allowing me to support both remote technical work and hands-on product development when required. I work with emerging brands, startup fashion labels, and designers who need more than a basic tech pack — especially when you need support connecting the design concept, material selection, sample development process, and production requirements. What I can help with: ▪ Tech Pack Development Creating factory-ready technical packages including CAD flats, measurement specifications, BOMs, construction details, stitching notes, grading guidance, fabric and trim information, label/packaging notes, and production comments. ▪ Product Development Developing garments from sketches, inspiration images, or reference samples into clear production directions, including silhouette, construction, fabric selection, trims, finishing details, and technical solutions. ▪ Sample Development Support Supporting the journey from first prototype to approved sample by reviewing fit, construction, workmanship, and providing clear revision notes. I also coordinate with pattern makers and sample rooms to solve development issues efficiently. ▪ Fabric & Trim Direction Recommending suitable fabrics, trims, labels, and materials based on product positioning, quality expectations, target pricing, and production requirements. ▪ Production-Ready Handoff Preparing organized technical files and development notes so factories can clearly understand the approved design and reduce communication errors during production. I help fashion brands bridge the gap between creative ideas and production — from the first design concept to an approved sample and production-ready package.
