Our Proven Process is a Strong Foundation for Your Product Idea

From Prototyping to Production, Trusted Guidance from Day One

We combine technical expertise with a collaborative process to guide you through every step of the sewn product development process. You’ll not only receive expert deliverables—like commercial grade patterns, production-ready samples and comprehensive tech packs—but also a clear understanding of how each step supports manufacturing success.

It All Starts with an Illustration

DESIGN


Sweatshirt Concept Board Example

If your concept only exists as an idea, our Design Concepting course is the first step. We help you turn your vision into a clear illustration so you can begin development—even if you don’t know how to draw.

You’ll learn how to clarify your concept, define fit and function, and choose the right materials so you can move forward with confidence and a clear production plan.

DEVELOPMENT

If you already have a design illustration or reference sample, we can begin development right away. Using 3D virtual design and sewn sampling, we confirm fit, function, and construction details before production begins. We then create commercial level graded patterns and a complete tech pack, giving you accurate, manufacturer-ready documentation for a smooth production handoff.
