I help fashion brands turn sketches, reference garments, or product ideas into clear factory-ready tech packs, sample development files, and production-ready documents. My work covers the product development process — from design interpretation and technical documentation to fabric and trim direction, sample development support, fit and construction review, and final production-ready handoff files. What I can help with: • Tech Pack Development CAD flats, measurement specs, BOM, construction details, stitching notes, grading guidance, fabric and trim details, label/packaging notes, and factory-ready production comments. • Product Development Turning sketches, inspiration images, or reference garments into clear development directions, including silhouette, fabric, trims, construction, fit, and finishing details. • Sample Development Support Reviewing prototypes, checking fit and construction, providing clear revision notes, and helping refine the garment from first sample to approved sample. • Fabric & Trim Direction Suggesting suitable fabrics, trims, labels, and materials based on the target quality, price level, product type, and production requirements. • Production-Ready Handoff Preparing clear technical files and final development notes so factories can understand the approved design or sample with fewer misunderstandings. I have experience across womenswear, loungewear, ready-to-wear, embellished garments, branded merchandise, and small-batch development. My background includes fashion design, technical design, sampling, sourcing, and factory communication. Based in Shenzhen, I work close to fabric markets, trim suppliers, sample rooms, and apparel factories, which allows me to support both remote tech pack work and hands-on sample development when needed. I’m a good fit for emerging brands, start-up fashion labels, and designers who need more than a basic tech pack — especially if you need help connecting the design idea, sample development process, and production-ready documentation. Message me if you need help turning your design idea, sketch, or reference garment into a clear tech pack, sample-ready file, or production-ready garment.
