A self-initiated technical design sample created to demonstrate a clear, structured Tech Pack workflow for a simple womenswear style.
The project translates a basic tee into organised product-development documentation, including front and back technical flats, construction callouts, Bill of Materials, base-size measurement specifications, artwork placement, colour information, and development tracking.
The goal was to show how even a simple garment can benefit from clear technical documentation that supports pattern development, first sampling, and communication across the product-development process.
Scope shown in this project
Technical flats
Construction callouts
Bill of Materials
Points of Measure
Base-size measurement specifications
Artwork placement
Colour and trim information
Commentary / development tracking
Project type: Self-initiated sample
Role: Technical Design · Tech Pack Development
Category: Womenswear / RTW
Note: Pattern making, grading, physical sampling, and manufacturer validation were outside the scope of this sample.
Really like that you included the flat sketches and the spec sheet, not just the pretty product shots. Did you build the measurement chart from a size you had on hand, or fully from scratch?
The development tracking section stands out, most tech packs I come across skip that and just assume everyone's reading from the same version. Curious whether that came from a real manufacturer mixup you'd dealt with before, or just wanting to be thorough on a self-initiated piece.

"Design is a young person's game."
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
At 20, it seemed like a confirmation.
Today, at 33, the words make me feel a little anxious.
Not because I'm old, but because we work in an industry obsessed with innovation: new tools, new trends, new frameworks every week.
I see designers mastering software released yesterday morning.
Fast, hungry, and technically formidable.
Honestly, a little intimidating.
So I find myself wondering if I'll actually be able to keep up, or if I'll quietly become 'obsolete'.
But then I look at the real work.
The work of clients and their requests and needs.
The work they pay me for.
Clients don't hire me to open the latest Figma plugin and produce 10 variations overnight.
They need someone who already knows which 9 to discard and saves them time and weeks of indecision.
This doesn't mean you stop learning.
Curiosity still matters, and it's what keeps you in the game.
I'm saying that knowing what to cut is part of the job.
And it usually takes years to get there.
