Advanced CAD Work
Technical Design (CAD)
CAD stands for computer-aided design. CADs are necessary to translate your designs to pattern makers, sample makers, and utilize them in factory tech packs. CADs are used to more clearly showcase your collection, as hand and fashion sketches are sometimes only readable by the creative eye.
I have over a decade's worth of experience in advanced CADing. I can visually convey just about any design idea you have into a technical sketch. I can also take images of inspirational details and combine them into one design. Or, you can also show me your hand and fashion sketches for me to translate into CADs.
Personally, when I design, I directly start to CAD. This allows me to create variations easily.
