Product Development Consulting
Bring your textile, soft goods, or fashion concept to life—with strategic, creative support from idea to launch.
You’ve got the vision.
You know your customer.
And maybe you’ve even got a prototype.
Whether you’re developing apparel, accessories, or home goods, scaling that spark into a fully-formed, marketable product? That takes time, systems, and specialized expertise—especially if you want to do it sustainably and with intention.
That’s where I come in.
I help brands and founders bring thoughtful products to life— with a process rooted in market research, design strategy, product development and end-to-end development.
From napkin sketch to shelf-ready, I offer freelance product development support for fashion, textiles, and soft goods brands that plugs into your team where you need it most.
Whether you’re launching a new category, refining fit and construction, or need a second set of eyes on materials and sourcing, I’m here to make your next product your best one yet.
this is for you if:
✔ You’re a small brand or creative business ready to grow but not ready to hire full-time
✔ You need expert support in concept development, fit, sourcing, or tech packs
✔ You’ve hit a roadblock moving from idea to execution and want clarity and momentum
✔ You value inclusive, sustainable design and want to build products that matter
✔ You’re building a soft goods or apparel brand and want expert guidance on materials, fit, or construction
