With over 12 + years experience in the fashion industry, I specialize in delivering high-quality, production-ready designs for a wide range of product categories and design aesthetics. About Me: Hi 👋, I’m Brittany, a professional fashion designer with a passion for turning creative concepts into stunning apparel. I graduated with honors from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 2016 and have since worked with renowned companies to develop market-leading collections across various apparel categories. 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. Services I Offer: Whether you’re starting from scratch or need help with a specific stage of the design process, I’ve got you covered! My services include: ✅ Trend Analysis & Research ✅ Mood Boards & Concept Development ✅ Fashion Design & Development ✅ Print Design ✅ Technical Drawings (CADs) ✅ 3D AI Renders ✅ Tech Packs ✅ Fittings Coordination ✅ Vendor Communication Support What You Can Expect: I’m committed to delivering professional results tailored to your project needs.

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
