Services

PATTERN MAKING

Based on your flat sketches, I can develop industry-standard, ready-for-manufacturing patterns. The patterns can be exported as a PDF format, or any other format of your choice. The pattern can be be modified to your specifications and reproduced to fit multiple sizing schemas.

3D FASHION MODELLING

Based on your flat sketches, I can develop an animated 3D render of your design of choice. The 3D model will accurately simulate the behaviour of your garment under real-world conditions. The model can be exported as an image, a video, or any file extension of your choice. Please refer to my portfolio for samples.

AI PHOTOSHOOT SIMULATIONS

My clients can save costs on expensive photoshoots and prototyping using AI phothosoots. Using your designs, I will generate a 3D model and place it in your environment of choice, to help create a quick and cont-effective proof-of-concept.
