Freelance Fashion Design Process Overview
INITIAL CONSULTATION
DESIGN MEETING
A free, no-pressure call to talk through your ideas, where you’re at, and what support you need. I’ll ask the right questions to understand your goals and challenges, then guide you on the best next steps to move your fashion brand forward with clarity and confidence.
This is where we start to bring your vision to life. We'll explore your ideas, inspiration, and ideal customer to shape a clear design direction. Whether you have really rough sketches or just a mood, I’ll translate your concept into a cohesive collection plan that aligns with your brand goals.
DESIGN CONCEPTS
Your first look at the designs taking shape. I’ll present digital colour sketches (CADs) based on our design meeting, giving you a visual feel for the collection. This is your chance to review, refine, and give feedback before we move into final design development.
TECH PACKS
Once designs are approved, I’ll create detailed tech packs for each style which are the essential blueprints manufacturers need to bring your collection to life. This includes construction details, fabric recommendations, trims, and size measurements tailored to your target market.
