DESIGN STUDIO

We work with small to mid-size brands to bring knitwear collections to life through creative direction, technical design, and the full knitwear development process from concept through production.                                                           
We stay hands-on, personal, and focused. That means fewer clients at a time, more collaboration, and better results.

We work with emerging brands building knitwear for the first time, small to mid-size teams growing an existing knit category, founders and designers looking for a thoughtful partner in the process.

From first sketch to final sample, we're with you the whole way.

    “Working with Amanda is simply easy-- her organization and communication makes our work smooth and easy. Since working with Amanda, a weight has been lifted. I know she has all of the bases covered and I can trust she has everything under control. I know she's thinking of every detail so I don't have to. I also appreciate Amanda's expertise, flexibility and gentle way of presenting opinions and options.”

    "It was great working with Amanda, she was very thoughtful and flexible in her approach.”

  • Stephanie, Cohort 10

    “Highly recommend this workshop! Both instructors were extremely knowledgeable and patient. Their information goes deeper than a typical workshop does and I got to learn a little about how the knitwear industry works. I also loved that they shared their patterns!”

A structured, start-to-finish development process to take a small set of knitwear styles from idea to factory-ready handoff.

Text that reads 'End-to-end development for a defined group of styles.' in a handwritten style.

    • You have a specific project to develop
