Fashion Consulting · Apparel Design · AI Apps

Your fashion brand, made on time, on budget.

I spent 25+ years in apparel design and production, leading design for $1B brands like Lee and Dickies. Now I work for founders and small brands — from first sketch to finished production, with full budget transparency — and I build the AI apps that make the work faster and leaner.
