Senior Industrial Designer | Product Development Expert | Concept to Manufacturing I am a Senior Industrial Designer with 15+ years of experience developing consumer products from early concept through mass production. I help startups, entrepreneurs, and established brands turn ideas into manufacturable, market-ready products by combining industrial design, engineering awareness, and real-world manufacturing knowledge. My focus is not just creating attractive concepts — it is developing products that can actually be produced, scaled, and sold. Over the past decade, I have worked on a wide range of consumer products including consumer electronics, home & kitchen products, oral care, medical devices, lifestyle accessories, and kids’ products. My work has supported products sold through major retailers and global brands including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Newell Brands, Perrigo, Gibson Homewares, Microsoft, Nokia, and Disney. I specialize in guiding products through the entire development pipeline — from initial concept and design language to production-ready CAD and factory collaboration. My process focuses on three key outcomes: • User-centered design that stands out in the market • Engineering-aware development that reduces costly redesigns • Manufacturing-ready CAD optimized for tooling and production I regularly collaborate with engineering teams, sourcing specialists, and manufacturers to ensure a smooth transition from design to manufacturing. My experience with materials, tooling, and production methods allows me to design products that are both beautiful and practical to manufacture.

Hi! My name is Monica, I am a highly skilled fashion designer with creative & technical design abilities with 11 years of experience working in the Fashion Industry. I have been lucky enough to have worked in many small, close knit teams where I have been able to participate in every part of the design process from concept to color palette, to material sourcing to designing bodies, to hand sketching & CAD sketching, to creating tech packs and commenting on and approving samples. Because of this, I have a deep understanding of all areas of the design process. I have been able to over oversee my products from development to production. I have experience with: -Designing: Men's & Women's clothing & accessories- activewear/athleisure, socks/hosiery, knitwear, sportswear, contemporary -Trend research & development -Presentation boards -Detailed technical flat sketches (CAD's created in Adobe Illustrator as well as hand sketches) -Logo Development -Print Design & Development (sublimation, jacquard, woven) -BMP files for socks/hosiery & knitwear -Linesheets -Sample Tech Pack creation & updating -Bitmaps (for socks) -Factory communication -Yarn & fabric R&D

I've spent the last 10+ years in the apparel industry, building collections across activewear, athleisure, streetwear, menswear, womenswear, and kidswear. I've helped brands take an idea and turn it into something that successfully launches​, and actually resonates with the people wearing it. I founded JustLabs, a design, development, and production studio based in San Francisco and Mexico City. We work with emerging designers and brand founders across the full process: design, branding and label systems (hang tags, woven labels, patches, care labels, etc.), tech packs, sourcing, development, and production oversight. My background in Fashion Design, combined with hands-on experience across the apparel pipeline, gives me a strong eye for design and the technical know-how to ensure what we create actually translates into a finished, manufacturer-ready product. If you're building a brand and need a partner who can take it from concept to successful, market-ready products, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
