Hi 👋🏽 I'm Maria, a Fashion & Apparel Tech Pack Designer who helps Serious startups and growing brands turn a raw idea into a REAL, sellable collection. If you're building a luxury activewear or streetwear line and you want a partner who is just as committed to seeing your collection become a real, wearable product as you are, you're in the right place.
With a business mindset, I specialize in exactly this: production ready tech packs for luxury activewear and streetwear brands that my efficient, trusted factory partners can bring to life, while I stay hands on with you through every step of development. No handing off a sketch and disappearing, I'm with you until it's actually made.
With 12+ years of experience working primarily with the EU & US market, I've built my career around one thing: helping founders launch collections that actually make it to production quickly, on time and on budget. As a Fashion & Apparel Tech Pack Designer & Developer, I don't just sketch pretty flats. I build the full technical foundation, specs, construction notes, BOM, and grading, so your manufacturer has everything they need from day one and you're not left guessing.
What I bring to your luxury activewear or streetwear brand:
✅ GREAT Collections optimized for a Strategic Development & Launch ✅ Factory ready tech packs: detailed specs, measurements, construction notes, BOM, and colorways ✅ Sampling management: fit comments, revisions, quality checkpoints, and direct factory communication ✅ Factory sourcing and alignment: ethical and sustainable options with a smooth handoff ✅ Lead time and production planning: milestones, timelines, and a realistic launch date
You don't need to keep interviewing designers or piecing together advice from five different freelancers. As a Tech Pack Designer who has worked across production partners in the US, China, and Europe, I bring the technical fluency, the factory relationships, and the process discipline to take your luxury activewear or streetwear concept from first sketch to bulk production, without the wasted samples, missed deadlines, or budget surprises that come from working with someone who understands design but not manufacturing.
This is what past clients say about working with me =)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Maria is super attentive and a great person to work with. She cares about your project and gives it her all. Will recommend working with her for your fashion and garment sample needs."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Maria has amazing attention to detail and will make sure you're satisfied before completing the contract!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Maria delivered an outstanding apparel tech pack, accurate, detailed, and production ready. Her skills, quality of work, and attention to detail were exceptional. She was always available, gave prompt feedback, met deadlines ahead of schedule, and communicated clearly throughout. A true professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend and look forward to working with her again."
If you're serious about launching a luxury activewear or streetwear collection that's actually ready for production, you don't need to keep searching. Message me with your idea or your biggest challenge right now, and I'll tell you honestly what it will take to get it made. Let's build something real 🤍
Stay healthy!
Maria
