IT ALL BEGINS WITH AN IDEA ✦
YOU HAVE THE IDEAS. YOU WANT TO TURN IT INTO SOMETHING REAL. THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
A GARMENT TECHNOLOGIST IS THE PERSON WHO MAKES SURE YOUR CLOTHING DESIGN ACTUALLY WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD.
I'VE SPENT MY CAREER AS A GARMENT TECHNOLOGIST BEHIND THE SCENES MAKING SURE IDEAS WORK. MAKING SURE THEY FIT, FUNCTION, AND GET MADE PROPERLY. I HELP EMERGING FASHION BRANDS FIND THE RIGHT FACTORY, PICK THE RIGHT FABRIC, BUILD PROPER TECH PACKS. I CAN PATTERN CUT, GRADE YOUR SIZES, CHECK YOUR SAMPLES, SPOT FIT ISSUES BEFORE THEY COST YOU.
BASED IN LONDON, I'LL GUIDE FASHION STARTUPS THROUGH THE MESSY BITS OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. THE TECHNICAL STUFF NOBODY POSTS ABOUT. THE PRODUCTION SUPPORT EVERY NEW CLOTHING BRAND NEEDS BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIND.
I'LL PROBABLY END UP BUYING SOMETHING FROM YOUR BRAND.
You probably don’t know what a garment tech is

GETTING STARTED
WHAT EXACTLY DOES A GARMENT TECHNOLOGIST DO?
I BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN DESIGN AND PRODUCTION FOR FASHION BRANDS. THAT INCLUDES TECH PACKS, FIT REVIEWS, PATTERN AMENDMENTS, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, GRADING, SOURCING SUPPORT, AND COMPLIANCE CHECKS - BASICALLY ALL THE TECHNICAL BITS THAT MAKE YOUR PRODUCT WEARABLE, MANUFACTURABLE, AND RETAIL-READY.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GARMENT TECHNOLOGIST AND A FASHION DESIGNER?
FASHION DESIGNERS CREATE THE LOOK - THE STYLE, AESTHETIC, AND OVERALL VISION. I MAKE SURE THAT VISION ACTUALLY WORKS AS A WEARABLE GARMENT. WHILE A DESIGNER FOCUSES ON HOW SOMETHING LOOKS, I FOCUS ON HOW IT FITS, HOW IT'S CONSTRUCTED, AND HOW IT GETS MADE. THINK OF IT THIS WAY: THE DESIGNER DREAMS IT, I MAKE IT REAL. MOST SUCCESSFUL FASHION BRANDS NEED BOTH - CREATIVE VISION AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO BRING THAT VISION TO LIFE.
CAN YOU WORK WITH EARLY-STAGE STARTUPS?
ABSOLUTELY. I LOVE WORKING WITH NEW CLOTHING BRANDS AND FOUNDERS WHO ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT, I CAN HELP YOU BUILD A SOLID TECHNICAL FOUNDATION FROM DAY ONE.
DO I NEED TO HAVE A TECH PACK OR PATTERN READY?
NOT AT ALL. I CAN CREATE YOUR TECH PACK, DRAFT YOUR PATTERN, OR WORK FROM SKETCHES, REFERENCES, OR AI-GENERATED IMAGES. WHEREVER YOU’RE STARTING, I’LL MEET YOU THERE.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
SEND ME A MESSAGE THROUGH THE CONTACT FORM OR EMAIL ME TO BOOK A FREE DISCOVERY CALL. WE’LL TALK THROUGH WHAT YOU NEED AND THE BEST WAY TO WORK TOGETHER.
WORKING TOGETHER
CAN YOU WORK DIRECTLY WITH MY FACTORY?
YES. I OFTEN ACT AS THE TECHNICAL GO-BETWEEN FOR BRANDS AND MANUFACTURERS, HELPING TO CLARIFY EXPECTATIONS, TRANSLATE FEEDBACK, AND KEEP DEVELOPMENT MOVING.
CAN YOU HELP IF I’M HAVING PRODUCTION PROBLEMS WITH MY FACTORY?
DEFINITELY. I CAN REVIEW WHAT’S GONE WRONG, GIVE CLEAR FEEDBACK, AND HELP GET EVERYONE BACK ON THE SAME PAGE.
DO YOU WORK WITH FASHION BRANDS REMOTELY OR IN PERSON?
BOTH. I'M BASED IN LONDON AND AVAILABLE FOR IN-PERSON FIT SESSIONS AND MEETINGS WHEN NEEDED. I ALSO WORK REMOTELY WITH FASHION BRANDS ACROSS THE UK AND INTERNATIONALLY.
CAN YOU SIGN AN NDA?
OF COURSE. IF YOU’D LIKE TO KEEP THINGS CONFIDENTIAL, I’M HAPPY TO SIGN AN NDA BEFORE WE START.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE A PATTERN OR TECH PACK BUT I’M NOT CONFIDENT IT’S RIGHT?
SEND IT OVER AND I’LL REVIEW IT. I CAN SPOT ISSUES, SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS, OR UPDATE IT TO MAKE SURE IT’S FACTORY-READY. SOMETIMES A SECOND PAIR OF EYES CAN SAVE A LOT OF TIME (AND MONEY).
CAN YOU RECOMMEND FACTORIES OR SUPPLIERS?
YES — IF YOU’RE STRUGGLING TO FIND RELIABLE PARTNERS, I CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR MAKE INTRODUCTIONS WHERE POSSIBLE. I’VE WORKED WITH A RANGE OF MANUFACTURERS IN THE UK AND ABROAD.
DO YOU HANDLE COMPLIANCE OR TESTING?
I CAN REVIEW TEST REPORTS AND CARE LABELS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH UK AND EU STANDARDS. I DON’T ISSUE LAB TESTS MYSELF, BUT I’LL FLAG WHAT’S NEEDED BEFORE PRODUCTION STARTS.
PROJECTS
HOW DOES IT WORK?
YOU BOOK ME FOR THE SUPPORT YOU NEED, WHETHER THAT’S A ONE-OFF TASK OR ONGOING PROJECT WORK. I’LL ADAPT TO WHAT YOUR BRAND NEEDS AT THAT STAGE: FIT SESSIONS, SAMPLE FEEDBACK, SPEC REVIEWS, FACTORY COMMS, WHATEVER MOVES THINGS FORWARD. YOU’LL ALWAYS KNOW HOW YOUR TIME IS BEING USED.
NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED?
BOOK A FREE 30-MINUTE CALL. I’LL WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT’S INVOLVED AND HELP YOU FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO MOVE FORWARD.
HOW LONG DO PROJECTS TAKE?
IT DEPENDS ON THE TASK. A TECH PACK OR PATTERN EDIT USUALLY TAKES AROUND 10 WORKING DAYS.
FOR ONGOING SUPPORT, I CAN USUALLY GET STARTED WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
IF YOU’RE ON A DEADLINE, JUST LET ME KNOW, I’LL ALWAYS TRY TO WORK AROUND IT.
