Senior Fashion Designer & Technical Designer with 20+ years of apparel experience. I take collections from concept to factory-ready production—including design, CADs, tech packs, fit, patternmaking, sourcing, costing, and product development. I specialize in helping established brands and fashion startups develop apparel that is both creatively strong and technically manufacturable. My experience spans women's contemporary, activewear, performance apparel, swimwear, lingerie, menswear, childrenswear and technically engineered apparel. Unlike designers who focus only on illustration—or technical designers who work only from existing designs—I understand the entire apparel development process. I don’t simply create designs and tech packs — I help brands develop product intelligently and cost-effectively. With decades of apparel development experience, I understand which fabrics, constructions, trims, and manufacturing methods make sense for a design, where costs can be reduced without sacrificing quality, and which factories are best suited for the product and production level. I help brands avoid costly development mistakes, unnecessary sampling, inappropriate materials, over-engineered construction, and poor manufacturing decisions. I can also help evaluate factory capabilities and pricing so brands have a knowledgeable advocate during development and are better protected from excessive costs or unsuitable vendors. My goal is not only to design a great product, but to help you develop it correctly the first time — with the right materials, construction, factory, and cost structure. I can help you with: Fashion collection development Women's contemporary apparel Activewear & performance apparel Fashion CADs / technical flats Manufacturer-ready tech packs BOMs, POMs & measurement specifications Garment construction Patternmaking & fit corrections Live-model fittings Fabric & trim sourcing Costing Textile prints & original artwork Sample development Factory communication Product development from concept through production Cost-conscious product development Fabric & trim selection Factory & vendor sourcing Manufacturing strategy Costing & cost reduction Development efficiency Factory quote evaluation Production problem solving

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.
