Saint Ida French Riviera One Piece

Freelance Apparel + Technical Design

Design-to-production support for growing apparel brands.

From collection direction and CADs to prints, tech packs, fit reviews, and vendor communication, I help founders and lean product teams turn early ideas into cohesive, factory-ready products—without adding a full-time hire.

Who I Work With

Experienced support, without the full-time hire.

I work with growing apparel brands, founders, and lean product teams that need experienced creative and technical support at a specific stage—or throughout the development process.

Best-fit situations:

  • You’re launching a new product or focused collection.

  • You have an idea or inspiration but need it translated into professional design files.

  • Your team needs extra design or technical bandwidth.

  • You need help preparing styles for a factory.

  • Samples are arriving, but development needs clearer feedback and organization.
