Hello, my name is Elena it's great to see you here!
I’m a fashion product development lead and technical designer based in Italy, with 10+ years of experience helping brands turn ideas into real, well-made and high-end quality request, products.
I work across womenswear and menswear, and I support clients from the first concept to production. That can mean shaping the collection direction, building clear tech packs, improving fit, choosing the right fabrics and trims, and coordinating sampling and manufacturing with reliable suppliers.
What I can help you with:
* Brand & product consulting - clear direction on what to develop, how to position it, and how to build a strong product line
* Collection design - research, concepts, mood boards, design development, fabrics and trims
* Technical design - tech packs, flats, measurements, construction notes, fit improvements
* Patterns - pattern support to get you ready for sampling and production
* Photoreal 3D garments - for presentations, marketing, pre-sales, and faster approvals
* Materials & sourcing support - choosing the right fabrics/trims and helping you source what matches the vision
* Project leadership + quality control - managing sampling and production steps so your product meets your brand standards
Since I’m based in Italy, I can communicate quickly with European partners and keep a close eye on quality which helps to avoid expensive mistakes and get a smoother production process.
Over the last 6 years, I’ve completed 100+ projects on Upwork, helping new brands launch and established ones upgrade their product and production standards. If you’re looking for a senior partner who is both creative and highly organized and who can lead the process from idea to production - I’d love to support your next launch.

Successful fashion products are rarely the result of good sketches alone. They are built through a series of development decisions involving silhouette, construction, materials, fit, functionality, and production strategy.
I am a Senior Fashion Designer and Product Development Specialist with 20 years of experience spanning the entire industry spectrum: from the uncompromising standards of luxury houses like Valentino and Salvatore Ferragamo to the high-volume precision of Zara, Anthropologie, and global manufacturers like Ecico Group and Bohera USA.
My focus is on production-ready integrity: ensuring that every design is not only visually distinctive but technically flawless, significantly reducing sampling errors and protecting your development budget.
I currently own and operate a made-to-order fashion label in Italy, which I founded over 20 years ago, and have supported more than 300 brands worldwide, from startups to established labels.
Core Expertise & Deliverables:
• Product Development & Collection Building
Defining product architecture, silhouette direction, construction logic, material strategy, and collection coherence before sampling begins.
• Fashion Design & Creative Development
Mood boards, concept development, collection direction, and product design aligned with brand positioning and market objectives.
• Technical Engineering
High-precision sketches and factory-aligned tech packs (detailed construction, BOMs, and measurement charts) designed to command respect from manufacturers.
• Accessories & Structured Product Development
Handbags, footwear, and technically constructed products requiring careful attention to structure, reinforcement systems, materials, functionality, and manufacturing feasibility.
• Premium Visual Communication
Professional illustrations and presentation materials for internal development, investor presentations, and brand communication.
I'm typically involved early in the development process, helping brands make critical product decisions before time and budget are invested in sampling and production.
If you are looking for a senior partner who understands the delicate balance between high-end design and global production dynamics, let’s discuss your collection’s requirements and next steps.
