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.
