About

Hi there, I’m Katlyn! (Kate-lynn)

Welcome to Katlyn Yee Designs – where your vision for unique, market-ready activewear becomes a reality. Katlyn Yee Designs exists because I understand your goals clearly: You want your activewear designs to stand out in a crowded market without the overwhelm and frustration of preparing for garment manufacturing. You dream of a unique, innovative activewear collection that is aesthetically pleasing, functionally superior, and resonates deeply with your target audience – here’s how I can support you. 

My Design Journey

I bring over 12 years of design and development experience, offering dual expertise in womenswear design and technical design. My design journey began with a decade designing for Fortune 500 corporate brands before I made the exciting transition into freelance design. I created Katlyn Yee Designs to provide passionate activewear brand owners like you with creative and technical pre-production design services rooted in collaboration.  

I offer one-on-one personalized attention to reduce the overwhelm of the pre-production process and seamlessly guide you through your creative journey. I love making this process fun and enjoyable, and I am genuinely excited to see each brand I assist have the opportunity to achieve their goals. Nothing makes me happier than witnessing the excitement and joy of launching a new collection that helps these brands resonate with loyal target customers and gain recognition in a crowded activewear market.  

Running your activewear brand is a dynamic and exciting journey. You need designs that not only look great but also perform exceptionally well. My goal is to help you create a tailored collection that stands out in the market, captures your audience’s attention, and drives brand loyalty.

When Your Ambitious Vision Needs

Expert Execution

Functional Design

When designing your activewear, I focus on enhancing movement, comfort, and performance. By emphasizing the body’s range of movements and incorporating advanced fabric technologies, I aim to elevate the functionality of your collection. Features like moisture-wicking, thermal regulation, and enhanced durability are thoughtfully selected to improve the wearer's experience, helping each garment to effectively meet its intended activities. 

Technical Communication

With over 12 years of experience and hundreds of garments designed, I meticulously develop your tech packs that any global garment manufacturer will easily understand. Your tech pack will clearly communicate the technical callouts and manufacturing-friendly garment construction techniques, enabling you to seamlessly create your 1st prototype fit sample with your garment manufacturer.

Collaboration

I believe in the power of collaboration. By working closely together and receiving personalized attention, I will guide you through each step of the design process to bring your vision to life with exceptional results.

Trust and Confidentiality

Your innovative ideas are important and deserve to be kept private and secure – I give you peace of mind with clear written agreements that keeps our work together confidential.
