I'm looking for someone who can take my mood boards, inspiration images, and creative direction and translate them into original front and back fashion sketches that capture exactly what I have in mind. I don't need them to be production-ready or technically detailed—I simply need clear, well-executed concept sketches that communicate the design, silhouette, proportions, and key details. Those sketches will then be handed off to my technical designer, who will create the technical flats, tech packs, and prepare the garment for development.
