Hire the Best T-Shirt Designers
in the United States

I help commercial apparel brands move from rough concept to factory-ready garment documentation with clear tech packs, accurate specs, and production-aware design files. Whether you have a sketch, reference garment, mood board, graphic idea, or early product concept, I can help translate it into a manufacturer-ready package that clearly communicates what needs to be made. I specialize in apparel technical design for brands that need more than a basic mockup. My work includes technical flats, garment specs, points of measurement, construction callouts, stitch details, artwork placement, trims, labels, packaging notes, and production files built for sampling and manufacturing. With over 10 years of experience in apparel design, garment development, and print production, I understand how to balance strong visual design with real manufacturing requirements. I work across a wide range of apparel projects and focus on creating clear, organized files that help brands move from concept to production with confidence. I also have hands-on experience with screen printing, DTG, DTF, HTV, sublimation, and embroidery. That allows me to create production files that account for decoration method, placement, scale, materials, fabric behavior, and print accuracy. What I can help with: • Apparel tech packs • Technical flats and garment drawings • Size specs and points of measurement • Construction and stitch callouts • Cut-and-sew garment development • Apparel graphics and artwork placement • Print-ready files for screen print, DTG, DTF, sublimation, and embroidery • Fabric, trim, label, hangtag, and packaging details • Sample review notes and production file cleanup • Manufacturer-ready design documentation My goal is to help brands reduce factory confusion, avoid costly sampling mistakes, and move into production with clear, organized documentation. I work best with clothing brands, startups, merch companies, product-based businesses, and established companies that want apparel designed with both aesthetics and production execution in mind. If you need a technical designer who understands how to turn creative direction into a garment your factory can understand, I can help you build the file the right way.

I have worked as a graphic design artist for over 7 years, mainly in full-time jobs and have just made the switch to freelancing. I am proficient in most of the Adobe Creative Suite, my main applications being Illustrator and Procreate. I have worked in various parts of the industry, though have spent most of my time in print. At the beginning of my career, I worked as an in-house graphic designer for a screen-printing company where I worked daily on bringing clients' visions to life. I created many custom t-shirt designs in a variety of styles - from clean geometric to groovy hand-illustrated. After a year with the company, I went on to manage the entire art department, in which I had 6-8 artists underneath me. Where this was largely an administration-based job, it was also my job to gear the team creatively and ensure we were ahead of trends. I then went to work solely with a non-profit organization based in the heart of the surf world. I worked as part of their media team, until similarly, after about a year I then took over the whole department. This included creating all their marketing materials, shooting and creating content, managing their online presence, and creating merchandise for their sister business, a coffee shop. I believe what sets me apart as an artist is my people skills. I love working with people and being able to bring client's ideas to life. I am always open to feedback, as I want my clients to always walk away loving what has been made for them.
