Pattern Development & Grading Services
Thoughtful Pattern Development, From Start to Finish
A great garment begins with a great pattern. I bring a hands-on approach to pattern development, combining technical pattern-making and grading skills with a strong understanding of how a garment should fit, feel, and function.
Because I work independently from my small home studio, I’m able to give each project careful, personal attention rather than treating it like just another job in a production queue. I take the time to understand your design, work through the technical details, and refine the pattern with intention.
Whether you’re developing your first garment or building out a collection, my goal is to create patterns that are not only technically sound, but practical to manufacture, grade, and ultimately turn into beautiful garments.
