FAQ

  • I've booked a call, what can I expect next?

    When you book a call, you’ll be prompted to answer a few short questions to help me better understand your brand and what you're looking for. If I need any additional details ahead of time, I’ll reach out via email. You’ll then receive a calendar invite with the meeting link for your selected date and time.

    During our call, we’ll dive into your brand’s goals, challenges, and vision, and I’ll walk you through how I can support you. If we’re aligned, I’ll follow up with a tailored proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, and pricing for your review.

  • What services do you provide?

    I offer design and development services tailored to swimwear and resortwear. This includes concept development, trend research, and collection planning to ensure your designs are both commercially viable and creatively distinct. I create detailed CADs and tech packs that streamline communication with factories and minimize costly errors.

    In addition to design, I support fabric and trim sourcing, vendor and factory vetting, and sustainability consulting. I also assist with fittings, technical callouts, and sample revisions to ensure your product meets both aesthetic and functional goals. Whether you need full collection development or targeted support in a specific area, I provide flexible, collaborative services to meet your brand’s unique needs.

  • How much do you cost?

    Pricing varies depending on the scope of work, as all of my services are customized to meet each client’s specific needs. My rates start at $1,000 and scale based on factors such as the number of SKUs, the complexity of the designs, the services required, and how quickly the project needs to be completed. For example, a full concept-to-sample design package with sourcing, tech packs, and fittings will be priced differently than a focused project like updating existing styles or building tech packs only.

    After our discovery call, I’ll send over a detailed proposal outlining deliverables, timeline, and pricing so you have full clarity before moving forward. I’m always happy to discuss options and tailor the scope to fit your goals and budget.

  • Why should I choose you?

    With over 12 years of experience, I am an expert in the swimwear industry, I bring both creative insight and practical expertise to every project. I’ve worked with a wide range of brands, from fast-paced corporate teams to lean startups, and understand what it takes to deliver high-quality designs that meet real-world production demands.

    My process is organized, collaborative, and always tailored to what’s best for your brand. I’ve built strong relationships with trusted vendors and manufacturers across China, Bali, Europe, and South America, and I know how to navigate timelines, sourcing challenges, and stay on top of unexpected challenges. With an MBA in Sustainable Fashion Management, I’m also deeply committed to helping brands move toward more thoughtful, lower-impact solutions. My goal is to make the process feel clear, efficient, and ultimately exciting, so you can focus on building a brand you’re proud of.

  • How long will my project take?

    Timelines vary based on the scope and complexity of your project. I take a realistic and transparent approach to scheduling, ensuring that deadlines are achievable without sacrificing quality or sustainability. Some projects may take just a few hours, while full collection development can span several weeks or months depending on the number of SKUs, services required, and vendor involvement.

    I always build in buffer time when possible to account for common delays like late fabric deliveries, extended approvals, or vendor communication gaps. While not every factor is within our control, careful planning and clear communication help us stay on track and avoid unnecessary timeline pressure. You’ll receive a clear project calendar with key milestones so you always know what to expect.

  • How involved will I be in the process?

    Your level of involvement is completely up to you — whether you prefer to be hands-on or take a step back, I’ll adapt to what works best for you. That said, I value collaboration and will schedule regular check-ins to review progress, gather feedback, and ensure everything stays aligned with your vision.

    If you have ideas or creative input along the way, I welcome it. As long as it stays within the agreed scope, I’m always happy to explore new directions. My goal is not just to deliver an exceptional final product, but to make the process feel seamless, collaborative, and better than you imagined.
