Denis R.

I help sportswear, surfwear, activewear, and apparel brands turn ideas into commercial, production-ready products — from concept and trend research to tech packs, graphics, materials, and supplier communication. With 20+ years of experience across Vans, O’Neill, Rip Curl, and Penalty, I bring both creative direction and product development thinking: fit, costing, market positioning, and factory execution. My work combines creative direction, technical design, and real-world product development experience — helping brands move from early ideas to organized, factory-ready execution. What I can help with: • Apparel / sportswear design • Factory-ready tech packs • Flat sketches and technical drawings • Collection and capsule development • Surfwear, beachwear, boardshorts, activewear, and soccer apparel • Apparel graphics, prints and placement artwork • Material, trim and construction direction • Product strategy, assortment and go-to-market support
