A 6-month design through development partnership for fashion founders who want confident, production-ready knitwear, without the guesswork.

Your Vision Deserves Better

You’ve got the vision. The taste. The ambition.

But when it comes to knitwear, it still feels like a mystery,
Creative concepts get lost in translation
Samples come back wrong (and you’re not sure why)
Factories fall short of your standards
You waste time and money on trial-and-error

It’s time to stop guessing, and start building with clarity.

In This Program, You Will Get…

Creative Clarity

  • Translate vision into cohesive, brand-aligned product

  • Align collection goals with your customer and market

  • Reduce stress and uncertainty in the design process

"Meredith stepped in with clarity, structure, and a deep understanding of how to support a small, artisanal brand."

— Sue Sartor

Technical Precision

  • Build garments that fit and function beautifully

  • Reduce sample waste and development delays

  • Create tech packs, fit notes, and spec sheets manufacturers love

"Meredith’s guidance has allowed us to be smarter and more deliberate, properly developing knit downs and more detailed tech packs, which saved time and money."

— Katie McClure, Co-Founder of Mirth

Strategic Efficiency

  • Lead your team with clarity and direction

  • Avoid another season of costly missteps

  • Apply a repeatable system season after season

"With Meredith’s guidance, my workflow feels more streamlined, my decision-making more intentional, and my work overall more efficient and impactful."

Real Results: Mirth Case Study

Within less than one week of my client Mirth launching their AW25 collection, the knit jacket we designed together sold out.

Even more notable: it was the highest-priced style on their site, proving that a shearling-inspired knit can sell out even in the lingering heat of early fall.

  • Previous outerwear attempts hadn’t resonated with Mirth’s audience. They needed a piece that felt both versatile and true to their brand DNA in a transitional weight.

  • After several sampling rounds, we landed on a shrunken-but-feminine bomber crafted with artisans in Peru:

    • Developed an innovative shearling-inspired knit using looped stitches and compression points for plush depth, delivering the look of shearling without the weight

    • Designed a silhouette that layered easily with multiple styling options

    • Used Fair Trade, OKEO-TEX certified alpaca blends

    • Aligned design with Mirth’s merchandising goals for outerwear and customer base

    • Expanded merchandising variety, a new knit outerwear hero that stood beside their wovens

    • Strengthened customer trust, proved their audience was ready to embrace knitwear as a defining category

    • Validated brand positioning, confirmed that premium pricing paired with intentional design drives demand

Collaborations like this are why I love what I do:
helping brands create knitwear that’s elevated, technically sound, commercially successful, and deeply aligned with their vision.
