Guadalajara, Mexico - 4:15 am local time

I help start ups to scale bringing Strategic Collections to market efficiently through a white-glove product development experience.

With 11+ years of experience working primarily with the US market, I specialize in elevated Golf wear, loungewear, and athletic wear. From tech packs and sampling to factory sourcing and production planning, I ensure every step you take is clear, structured, and aligned.

My focus is helping you make informed decisions from the early stages, covering costs, timelines, and next steps, so you can build confidently and scale sustainably. No confusion, delays, or budget surprises.

My service is full product development, and I use tech packs as the foundation so your manufacturer gets clear, detailed direction from day #1.

I focus on Golf drops & elevated loungewear and activewear. I support brands from concept → tech pack → sampling → bulk-ready planning, keeping everything organized, realistic, and transparent.

My focus is reducing your confusion with factories, avoid wasted money, speed up your development, and help you launch professionally, efficiently, and with a product that TRULY reflects your brand’s value.

What brands get working with me:
- Tech packs (production-ready): specs, measurements, construction notes, BOM, colorways

- Sampling management: fit comments, revisions, quality checkpoints, factory communication

- Factory sourcing & alignment: ethical/sustainable options + smooth handoff

- Costing + margin support: target cost planning, trims/packaging considerations, budget clarity

- Lead time + production plan: milestones, timelines, and launch/delivery planning

I’ve worked with production partners across the US + China + Europe and I’m known for being hyper-clear, responsive, and honest, especially about feasibility, quality, and timelines.

Maria was wonderful! She was very helpful and knowledgeable about production.

Super awesome working with her! I went into this not having much experience in fashion, and she was clear and helpful in teaching me and showing me the ropes. excited to get started and work with her more :)

Working with Maria was an incredible experience. We connected deeply through my project, and from the very beginning she brought not only creativity but also structure and clarity. She gave me a full loop of manufacturing rules to ensure optimal quality and guided me on how to strategically focus my collection.

Maria helped me understand what best suits my budget and how to maximize it, showing me which areas were most important to invest in to achieve a strong and successful clothing brand. That perspective was invaluable.

What stood out most was her ability to truly connect with my brand on a deeper level—she understood what my brand stands for, the meaning behind it, and where I want to take it. For me, that’s essential: working with someone who not only designs, but also feels and resonates with the brand’s essence.

I would definitely stay with Maria. She is knowledgeable, insightful, and genuinely invested in creating something meaningful.
