I help fashion brands turn creative ideas into original, beautifully designed garments and factory-ready products. With 10+ years of experience in fashion design, technical design, and product development, I specialize in everything from initial concepts and collection development to detailed tech packs, sampling, and production. Hi! I'm Zoe, a fashion designer and technical design specialist with a strong background in womenswear, activewear, streetwear, swimwear, accessories, and textile/graphic design.

What sets me apart is my ability to bridge creative design with technical execution. I don't just design garments that look beautiful on paper. I understand how fabrics behave, how patterns and construction affect fit, and what manufacturers need to bring a design to life accurately. Whether you need an original collection developed from scratch, professional technical flats, detailed production-ready tech packs, or support through sampling and manufacturing, I can step in wherever needed.
