Working with Melanie has been intuitive, streamlined (despite working together remotely), and a pure pleasure. She has helped us get our sizing standardized, fixed pattern issues, created new patterns and gotten the pieces manufactured. We are thankful to be working with such a detail oriented person who is helping us grow our business.

"Melanie worked with us as a freelance Technical Designer from 2006-2012. Her main contribution during that time was handling development for our three diffusion lines at Target – layette, newborn apparel and toddler apparel – as well as our main DwellStudio label layette collection. Her broad wealth of knowledge and expertise made her an invaluable asset to the team. At the time we hadn’t produced apparel before so in addition to creating comprehensive tech packs and patterns, she really took an active role in both developing and implementing new designs. She shepherded each project through every stage from design to textile qualities through garment fittings, product development and sourcing. Additionally, on a personal level she is a joy to work with. She is passionate about her job and always conducts herself with the utmost professionalism. I would without hesitation not only recommend Melanie, but would also be delighted for the opportunity to work with her again."
