Turning a design idea into something a factory can actually make is harder than most brands expect. I help fashion founders and brands bridge that gap, with tech packs and production ready designs that are clear, accurate and built for real manufacturing. With 8+ years in the apparel industry and a background as an import merchandiser managing factory communication, sampling, compliance and critical path timelines, my work goes beyond flat sketches. I understand what happens after the file lands in a factory inbox, and I design accordingly. I specialise in kidswear, babywear and activewear, but work across womenswear and menswear too. Whether you need a single tech pack for sampling or end to end support across a full season, I can help you get from idea to production ready specs without the back and forth. Services include: tech packs and spec sheets, garment and print design, CAD flat sketches (Adobe Illustrator), size charts and grade rules, and supplier-ready handoff documentation. Available for both one off projects and ongoing support.
