I am a Garment Technologist and Product Developer supporting apparel brands from concept through to production. I focus on clear, accurate technical development — from tech packs and fit refinement to full product creation. I specialise in translating design intent into accurate, production-ready garments through clear technical development, fit refinement, and collaboration with factories and suppliers. My approach combines precision, organisation, and a calm, solution-driven attitude — helping teams bring products to life efficiently and with care. My technical expertise covers: ✨ Garment Technology: construction, fit, and development from prototype to bulk production. ✨ Tech Pack Creation: detailed, factory-ready documentation, including specifications, BOMs, and Illustrator schematics. ✨ Fit Development: analysing fit, refining patterns, and ensuring consistency across graded sizes. ✨ Pattern Development: reviewing and adjusting blocks to improve proportion, comfort, and silhouette. ✨ Product Development: guiding styles from concept through sourcing, sampling, and final production readiness. As a freelance consultant, I work with startups, established brands, and commercial companies to manage product development, create clear documentation, and refine fit across collections. I’m also open to full-time or contract opportunities where I can contribute hands-on technical expertise within a collaborative team environment. Based in Glasgow, I work remotely with clients globally — offering structured, approachable, and dependable technical support that helps brands achieve consistency, efficiency, and quality.
