Hi, I’m Deirdre Spillane. I am a designer proficient in product development and manufacturing processes, including flat patterning, digital pattern making with Lectra and CLO 3D, and the creation and execution of technical packs. I enjoy turning concepts into manufacturable garments and seasonal collections through collaborative, cross-functional work. When I’m not prototyping, I explore digital pattern techniques and trend forecasting to optimize fit, function, and production efficiency, while staying curious about new materials and sustainable design approaches.…Hi, I’m Deirdre Spillane.
