Intent/Life to digital & back.
CAD enables a low risk, highly space efficient and "sustainable" approach to iteration and design. The skillset to do so effeciently and accurately can create beautiful things. See my "About Me" section for more insight on my design philosophy and intent as a creative, but stick around here for examples.
LIFE — 1/.
Competitive references, aspirational and physical ones too, paired with practical construction examples.
Digital — 2/.
Mood, Design, Flats, CAD Patterning, simulation and iteration.
&Back — 3/.
Sampling stage becomes physical, return to step 2 and recycle.
INCORPORATING 3D INTO TECH PACKS
Understanding how garments are engineered and clearly communicating their intricacies with internal diagrams, detailed annotation, and 3D simulated garments add clarity to technical packages.
Excerpts to Demonstrate Incorporating Renders into Tech Packs
DRESS SHIRT WINDBREAKER
Technical Illustration, Detailed Construction View, and 3D Pattern Development
Complete Windbreaker Dress Shirt Proto
From layered "X-Ray" construction diagrams to block development and intricate design lines, prototyping was hastened with digital representations of ongoing pattern development to suit design intentions via technical flats.
LEVERAGING BLOCK LIBRARIES / CLO3D & PATTERNMAKING
Agility Trenchcoat Block.
Untextured 3D Simulation Photoshop.
Untextured Hollow Body Render used for BOM Legend.
ARITZIA / ONBOARDING EXCERPT
Total pattern/simulation time for the 3D model above was 2 hours. With existing libraries (in this case the Agility Trenchcoat Block) product intention, fit and performance can be guided towards goal posts on the fly – expediting sample development and decreasing time to market.
3D Rendering and visualization
From block fittings to final representations of life-like products; understanding the tools accessible to modern design is in itself, an asset. Building libraries of materials, trim models and program-compatible pattern files.
AGILITY TRENCH COAT
3/4 Gusset View
Attack Pose Simulation to Validate Shoulder/Arm/Back Ease
Rear View, Stowe Hood
Complete Agility Trenchcoat Proto
Profile View, Lightweight Stowe Hood Transparency
Rendering materials and notions before making final colour/hand/appearance decisions can help avoid overpurchasing and liability across vendors. With greater information, designers and production partners can make better informed purchasing decisions and maintain a digital library of existing materials.
MADE OUTDOOR COVERSHEET EXPORTS
Quickly operating bulk custom technical package coversheet specifications, allowing hundreds of orders to be processed in mere minutes. The speed and clarity needed to validate custom orders and detailed specs for overseas manufacturing improved 500%.
Intent/Half the work is already done when the system works for you.
