Fashion Designer; Illustrator & Pattern Maker

Hello, my name is Yvi :) I have an Honours degree in Fashion Design (BA Hons) and over 16 years of hands-on experience in the fashion industry. Over the last half-decade, my career has been dedicated to empowering startup apparel brands with a fusion of creativity and technical design expertise throughout their product development journeys. Beyond the product development aspects, I thrive on collaborating with startup ventures. Starting a new brand can often feel like navigating uncharted waters, and my role is to bring order to the creative chaos. I'm deeply passionate about what I do, and I approach each project as an opportunity to make a lasting impact. It is super rewarding to witness a brand grow from incubation into a self-sustaining business. I offer assistance in the following areas: • Trend research • Conceptualization • Creative design • Print development • Technical design • Tech pack creation • 3D virtual sampling • Sewing patterns • Merchandising • Startup product development consulting My experience spans a broad spectrum of fashion categories, ensuring versatility in my work: • Athleisure wear • Active wear • Street wear • Women's, men's and gender-neutral • Childrenswear • Soft accessories • Corporate clothing and uniforms • Collaborative work on wearable tech (in partnership with skilled engineers) I'm well-versed in industry-standard software, including: • Adobe Illustrator • Adobe Photoshop • Adobe InDesign • Clo3D • Microsoft Excel Feel free to reach out with your project details, I look forward to turning your vision into reality.

Yvette and the team were amazing to work with! Very professional and lovely. As a small start up, i was so nervous that i wouldn’t be taken seriously.Everything was explained in simple terms and any questions I had were answered with care and no judgement. They really did listen and understand what i needed. Even though they were busy, I felt like i was their only client. Response time was quick and their work is phenomenal. I can’t recommend Yvette and her team highly enough!
