Senior Product Development Partner Engineered Apparel Performance

Textile and Product Development Partner | Engineered Apparel | Concept to Production | Manufacturing Aligned I help brands turn strong garment concepts into engineered, production-ready products. With 14+ years in apparel development, including 11 years on the factory side in China and Taiwan, I bridge design vision with real-world manufacturing execution across Europe and Asia. I’ve led full product cycles from concept through production and logistics for emerging premium brands launching in 2026, ensuring alignment between design intent, factory capability, and commercial reality. Core expertise: ✅ Production-ready Tech Packs (POM, BOM, construction notes, label placement) ✅ Fabric development & sourcing (woven + knit / performance textiles) ✅ Fit refinement, sampling follow-up & supplier communication ✅ CADs, color palettes & trend direction I specialize in woven shirting developments as well as performance knit fabrics for sportswear and activewear. Through supplier-side development, I’ve contributed to projects linked to brands such as… Inditex, Tommy Hilfiger, Inditex, Barbour, Alo Yoga, Vuori, Adidas and lululemon (through supplier-side development). If you need a reliable partner to move from idea → sampling → production, I’d be happy to discuss your scope and propose a clear workflow.
