Apparel Production and Evaluation

A women’s winter apparel line built around performance, sustainability, and modern outdoor style. Designed for women who thrive outdoors; durable, weather-ready, and designed to stand out.

I served the role of Design Director, leading the creative direction and helping guide five teammates through their roles. I designed a majority of the collection, built tech packs for each piece, directed my assistant designer, and worked closely with merchandising and e-commerce to ensure product vision translated all the way through.

A focused women’s winter line built around real outdoor use and aprés-bility. Each piece was designed with weather-readiness and wearability in mind; clean silhouettes, functional details, and fabrics that hold up in inclement weather.

The design process ran from concept sketches through factory-ready tech packs. I developed colorways, built out technical flats, and iterated on designs alongside merchandising feedback to keep the line cohesive and commercially viable.

Rainier Gear sits where performance meets modern style. We offer a clean and minimal aesthetic with no detail that doesn’t serve a purpose. Our target customer is active, intentional, and prioritizes time outdoors daily.
