Owner & Designer
About You
We primarily work with businesses who have learned how challenging it is to bring a product to life. The people who run these companies value quality, service, and results over other factors.
Some examples of who we've worked with:
-
A business owner who had a win on Shark Tank and needed a private label designer for a few months
-
A small business that wanted resourcing of better fabrics and trims for their existing garments
-
A CEO who needed an independent contract designer while their business grows to the next level
-
A VP of an apparel brand in need of part-time remote technical design help
-
A brand owner who was ready to scale up from low volume production to large scale
-
A company owner who's garments kept arriving flawed and required a live in-line factory review
-
A manager at a large company that had a tech pack project too big for her team
-
A brand that wanted a consultant to analyze and rework their existing styles to get better costs
