Services.
Our services are tailored to each individual client because I truly believe every client's needs are unique. What is your end goal and how can I help you achieve it?
I am confident we can work together to find a way to make that happen.
Whether you are an influencer looking to develop your own line, a well established brand or a small start up about to launch your first collection, I am here to help.
We are very flexible in our approach & understand that every project is different. We do not limit ourselves to a set day rate or project fee - this is calculated on a case by case basis.

Free 15 minute call to talk about what you need and how I can help you bring your visions to life.

Design
I break my design services into 2 key stages...
Sketch>CAD.
1.
Take your ideas and turn them into clear designs. This often begins with a hand sketch & develops into final CADS (computer aided designs) using Illustrator & Photoshop. You will be included throughout the design process & regularly asked for feedback. Don't worry if you only have a small collection - we can cost per design.
You can come to me with a squiggle, some Pinterest images or just your brain and we will bring it to life for you on paper.
CAD>Tech Pack.
2.
Tech Packs.
After your designs are finalised, we create technical packs to help manufacturers interpret them & begin sampling/production.
5.
Sourcing & manufacturing.
