Why Work with Katlyn Yee Designs?
Your Design Goals, Realized
Are you looking for custom sportswear and activewear that not only resonates with your audience but also elevates your brand’s visibility? As an expert freelance sportswear and activewear designer, I specialize in turning complex ideas into high-performance garments that capture your brand identity and deliver exceptional results.
The Complexity of Activewear Design, Simplified
Designing activewear goes beyond just sketching a concept and moving forward. It requires a deep understanding of movement, fabric technology, performance features, and customer needs. When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a designer—you’re partnering with an expert who specializes in performance-driven activewear design. Together, we’ll craft garments that enhance comfort, mobility, and durability, ensuring your collection stands out in the competitive sportswear and activewear markets.
Solving Your Design Challenges
My design process is built on understanding your customer’s needs, from technical fabrics to technical design details that enhance performance. This approach leads to collections that are functional, build loyalty, and help your brand stand out in the competitive market.
Collaborative Process That Makes the Difference
Unlike other designers who may jump straight to technical sketches, I spend time planning every detail in the concept phase so your designs are functional, beautiful, and ready for garment manufacturing. You won’t feel overwhelmed—I’ll be with you every step of the way
Seamless Transition to Garment Manufacturing
When it’s time to bring your designs to life, you’ll feel fully prepared to work with your garment manufacturer. Your tech pack will include meticulously detailed, manufacturer-friendly callouts, construction techniques, and accurate technical sketches with precise measurements — all so you can confidently request your first prototype fit sample and get accurate cost estimates, setting you up for success.
Personalized Activewear Design Services:
A Simple, Efficient Process
Step 1
Collection & Garment Design Concepts for Activewear
Capture the essence of your activewear brand with a service that transforms your initial ideas into a well-defined design concept. Through a collaborative process, I’ll guide you in turning your sportswear or activewear ideas into a solid, market-ready concept. This step includes mood boards, market research, color palettes, and individual garment concept pages focused on both functionality and aesthetic appeal. We’ll work together to align each piece in your collection with your brand’s vision, setting a strong foundation for your activewear line.
Step 2
Accurate Technical Flat Sketches for Garment Manufacturing
Once your garment design concepts are approved, we’ll move into creating precise technical flat sketches. These detailed, non-artistic drawings provide essential front and back views of each garment, outlining critical design elements like seam details, stitch placement, and trim specifications. These sketches serve as a vital visual blueprint for communicating with manufacturers, ensuring accuracy during the production phase.
Step 3
Comprehensive Tech Packs
Before moving to garment manufacturing, your activewear line will rely on detailed tech packs that document every technical and design aspect of each piece. The tech pack includes construction details, measurements, fabric specifications, logo placements, and a bill of materials. This documentation acts as a blueprint for manufacturers, helping them produce accurate prototypes while reducing errors and maintain the integrity of your original design.
Meet the Designer Behind the Creations
Behind every custom-designed activewear collection lies commitment, passion, and expertise. As an expert freelance sportswear and activewear designer, I bring over 12 years of experience in creating custom, performance-driven designs. I guide activewear brands from the initial idea to creation, while equipping you with all of the essential design documents you need to confidently step into garment manufacturing.

Designed for Functionality
Exceptional activewear requires more than just aesthetics; it needs to be built on a foundation of technical design that emphasizes functionality. With my expertise, I deliver design solutions that enhance your brand’s visual appeal while also focusing on fit, comfort, and movement—key factors in high-performing activewear.
Clear Communication
Clear communication between your design and manufacturer is crucial for seamless garment manufacturing. My tech pack service will provide you with meticulously detailed documentation, including construction callouts, fabric specifications, and precise measurements. These tech packs minimize costly errors and back-and-forth during the garment manufacturing process, speeding up your production timeline and reducing costs.
