Creative development
As creativity is likely what lead you to us in the first place, you might not need our help in this regard! That said, even the most creative ideas sometimes need to be channelled through a filter of experience. If you have a great idea, but you don’t quite know how to structure a solid plan to bring your vision to life, we are here to assist.
Technical Development
The technical development of an apparel product can be a complicated affair. Without meticulous technical planning and execution, a product could easily fail to meet your standards. Our team has a strong technical foundation and we can guide you through all the technical steps needed to create a production-ready Tech Pack and/or pattern.
