What Clients Are Saying
This structured yet flexible approach simplifies development, reduces waste, and ensures collections that fit beautifully both creatively and commercially.
"Working with Meredith on our small-batch sustainable knitwear program was such a pleasure. We ended up with a collection that felt elevated, cohesive, and truly aligned with our brand values. Meredith made what could've been a stressful process feel smooth and intentional. To anyone considering working with her-do it."
- Sue Sartor, Founder & Designer of Sue Sartor
"We used to spend far too much on sampling. Meredith's guidance allowed us to be smarter and more deliberate. We developed far more complex, well-fitting pieces and saved time and money. I can't stress enough how strong her project management skills are. The detailed T&As, supplier communication, and planning tools allowed us to enjoy the development process for the first time ever."
- Katie McClure, Co-Founder of Mirth

Meet Meredith Noles
I founded Noles Studio after nearly decade designing knitwear for luxury houses and contemporary brands, including Gucci, Tory Burch, and La Ligne, among others. Later, I led as Head Designer at a sustainable womenswer brand, overseeing everything from fully-fashioned knits to handloomed wovens.
Today, I help brands bring their knitwear vision to life - blending the technical rigor of luxury fashion with the soul of sustainability and craft. My approach is grounded in thoughtful process, artisan partnerships, and design that lasts.
