Ashley L.

Hi! I’m Ashley, your design partner, and I'll collaborate with you to turn your idea from a sketch into a physical product. I've been doing this for over 13 years, and I've worked on just about every piece of it: the garment, the print, the hangtag, the box it ships in, and the tech pack that holds it all together. Because I understand both the design and the production side, I can usually spot a problem before it turns into another sample round or a confusing email thread with your factory. I'm the Founder and Creative Director of Ashwood Creative, and I've worked with brands in medical apparel, performance and lifestyle, outerwear, licensed programs, and consumer goods. Apparel and Technical Development * Original garment design, CADs, and flat sketches * Complete tech packs with construction details, BOMs, and graded specs * Fit and sample review with clear correction comments * Cleaning up existing tech packs before they go to the factory Prints, Trims and Product Graphics * Seamless repeats and engineered placement prints * Colorways and coordinated print collections * Hangtags, woven labels, care labels, and branded trims * Packaging graphics and production ready artwork Production Support * Factory and vendor communication * Sample troubleshooting and revisions * Pantone, material, trim, and construction specs * Specialist support when a project needs extra hands Some clients come to me with a detailed sketch, some with a Pinterest board, and some with just a product idea and a launch date. I'm comfortable starting from any of those and building it out from there. A lot of my clients have stayed with me across multiple seasons and product lines, and I think it's because I ask questions early, tell you honestly when something won't work, and stay with the project until it's done. If you're working on a new product, getting a concept ready for production, or trying to figure out why a sample keeps coming back wrong, send me a message. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
