Available to hire
I’m Jaclyn Libby, a senior apparel designer with 14+ years of experience creating technical, detail-driven garments and accessories across men’s, women’s, and kids’ categories. I enjoy translating creative direction into wearable design through strong garment construction knowledge, thoughtful fabric and trim selection, and precise technical specifications.
Throughout my career, I’ve led design and development for everything from jobsite workwear and technical outerwear to core woven tops, sleepwear, swim, and fashion accessories. I’m energized by collaboration with cross-functional partners, the sample-to-production process, and building seasonal color palettes and design details—like woven labels, heat transfers, embroideries, and zip pulls—so each launch performs beautifully in both fit and function.
