The Design and Development Process unfolds in a series of stages:
Audit - together we dive into the brand identity and target audience to ensure alignment with the vision.
Concept Development - From mood boards and stitches to sketches, I ground seasonal development with a clear direction.
Creative Design- laying the groundwork for all fully fashioned knits, I balance the process of creating stitches, hand sketches and CADs to minimize costs as well as the development timeline. My creative development process is rooted in technical knitwear knowledge and a pragmatic design approach.
Sourcing - Harnessing the power of a global network, I facilitate connections with reputable mills ensuring the sourcing of high-quality, sustainable yarn with a luxe feel.
Virtual Fittings - I collaborate closely with you to perfect garment fit, managing all fit feedback and coordinating technical aspects with factories to improve fit and minimize samples.
Technical - I navigate the minutia and complexities of tech packs to create a clear factory factory-ready document.
Development Liaison - Overseeing the entire sampling process for R&D of knit downs, sample development, calendar management, pre-production, and communication from initial design to SMS sample. As your development liaison, I manage efficient communication between mills and suppliers.
Strategic Manufacturing - Drawing upon a wealth of industry insights, I aid in the selection of suppliers that align with your brand ethos and financial considerations. The focus extends beyond just product quality, as I cultivate enduring partnerships primed for ongoing product innovation and growth. I balance stitch, construction, yarn cost, and manufacturing logistics to create the best option for the target price and margin.
