02 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

01 RESEARCH

I begin by studying the market through trend forecasting, store shopping, online research, and competitive analysis. This phase helps define the season’s direction, identify product opportunities, and build a strong foundation for design.

From there, I translate insight into product ideas through silhouette direction, category planning, and early design exploration. This stage focuses on shaping a clear point of view that feels both market-aware and brand-right.

Once concepts are established, I develop detailed sketches, supporting views, and core design details that clarify proportion, construction, and styling. The goal is to create work that is visually clear, usable, and ready for internal review or development.

In the final stage, I help bring the concept into a more resolved form through specs, fit evaluation, block development, and collaboration with pattern makers or factories. This ensures the design is not only creative, but also functional, consistent, and ready to move forward.
