For my final project in the first term of the Technical Apparel Design program at KPU, I created a waterproof jacket inspired by the Lululemon Cargo Shell Jacket.

Using Adobe Illustrator, I traced the reference garment to develop an initial pattern, which I then refined in Browzwear VStitcher, allowing me to assess the fit on a 3D mannequin. Once finalized, I exported the 2D pattern and used a laser cutter to achieve precise fabric cutting.

To enhance waterproof functionality, I incorporated no-seam technology for the pockets, attached the zippers seamlessly, and sealed all interior seams with waterproof tape. The jacket successfully repelled water during wear testing, confirming the effectiveness of my design choices.

Through this project, I improved my skills in Browzwear VStitcher, laser cutting, and seam sealing while gaining critical insights into construction challenges, material limitations, and the feasibility of different sewing techniques in technical apparel design.

I developed this line sheet as part of an assignment, showcasing my Adobe Illustrator skills in creating precise technical drawings for a cohesive hiking apparel collection. This project highlights my ability to design functional and performance-driven garments while effectively communicating construction details essential for technical apparel design.

In this project, I reverse-engineered the Lululemon Cargo Shell jacket to create a complete tech pack. I developed detailed technical drawings, construction callouts, and specification sheets to communicate design intent clearly for production. This project highlights my skills in garment analysis, technical illustration, and precision documentation for apparel development.

In this project, I developed a firefighter pant inspired by Arc'teryx’s performance aesthetic and design philosophy. I created the technical drawings, designed and laser-cut the pattern pieces, sewed the garment, and applied laser engraving for branding details and hangtags. This project highlights my skills in technical design, pattern development, garment construction, laser cutting and engraving, and branding design.

This group work was to develop a full collection, I was in charge of making the pants.
