As a strategic design partner with over 12 years of apparel industry experience, collaborating with over 30 international garment manufacturers, I help established activewear brands like yours transform initial concepts into precise, factory-focused 2D technical flat sketches.
Establishing clear visual communication from the outset can significantly accelerate your development timeline and minimize potential misunderstandings in the initial design and sampling stages with your manufacturing partners.
This essential first step lays the groundwork for efficient and successful production of technical apparel that aligns with your brand DNA, considers market trends, and meets the functional needs of your target customer

Step By Step Process
Efficient Project Timeline (General Estimates):
Your Prep: 1–2 business days before consultation.
Consultation: I will schedule after prep submission.
Sketch Delivery: Typically, 1-3 business days post-consultation (may vary).
Revisions: Typically, 1-3 business days after your feedback (per round).
Clear and Predictable Investment:
$99 USD per garment.
Example: (1 Crop Top, 1 legging) 2 garments = $198 USD
This initial investment provides significant value by laying a clear and accurate visual foundation for your activewear collection, potentially reducing downstream costs associated with miscommunication and errors.
My extensive experience with over 30 international manufacturers ensures a level of detail and understanding of production needs that can save you time and money in the long run. Think of this as a strategic investment in the efficiency of your activewear design development process.
Optional Support to Enhance Your Vision:
Additional Revisions: $25 per round.
Color-Filled Sketches: Visualize your designs with color! For an additional flat fee of $25 per garment, you can receive your technical flat sketch filled with up to 5 colors of your choice to aid in visualization and color assortment.
Streamlined Design Visualization Process:
Consultation: We'll discuss your vision, refine garment details including functional needs, and align with your brand strategy and market understanding.

Please Note:
This service focuses on foundational design visualization. It does not include manufacturer sourcing, detailed technical specifications for manufacturing, digital pattern making, CLO 3D services, or third-party communication. These are typically addressed in subsequent development phases.
Avoid These Common Mistakes:
Many brands rush this initial sketching phase, leading to vague visuals that cause confusion with manufacturers, resulting in incorrect samples and delays. Investing in clear, technically sound flat sketches from the outset is crucial for a smoother and more efficient production process.
