We Have a Proven Track Record of Helping Clients Successfully Launch Products

Here’s What John Had to Say:

We teamed up with Heather for a project to create a new product from the idea stage to the technical design phase. Heather did a fantastic job throughout the project. She was super organized, professional, worked well with others, and always finished tasks on time. For those who are new to making and selling clothes, it can be really tricky to give the factory all the right information to make the product. Heather made this part of the project very easy. She ensured the factory got the correct design in the right way the first time. This made the overall time it took to bring the product to market shorter, and it saved us money.

—John Townsend

Heather is a rockstar!! I’m just starting out, which can be intimidating, but with Heather’s advise and expertise I feel very secure. My ideas were perfectly translated in the development of my garment. The one thing I love the most about working with Heather is that she doesn’t leave you out to dry, she shows genuine concern and interest in helping you bring your dream to reality. I would recommend her to anyone, really a 10 out of 10!
