OUR PROCESS

From technical packs to creative direction, we help you launch, grow, and stand out in the outdoor and sportswear world. Let’s bring your ideas to life—together.

A Clear, Predictable Workflow

Our process is built to reduce friction, accelerate development, and ensure every stage is aligned before sampling begins.

1 — Discovery Sprint

Define the user, performance requirements, material direction, risks, and project scope. Ensures clarity before design begins.

2 — Design + Technical Development

Pattern engineering, concept development, construction logic, and a full technical pack designed for factory use.

3 — Prototype + Factory Support

Manage corrections, material selections, clarifications, and sample refinement through clear, structured communication.
