So You Want to Be a Fashion Designer? Let’s Make It Happen.

Every now and then, I receive an email that reads:
“I want to be a fashion designer!”
It always makes me smile, because I know exactly how exciting—and overwhelming—that desire can feel. That one sentence inspired me to imagine something bigger: What if you didn’t just dream about becoming a fashion designer—what if you could become one, right alongside me? Imagine learning fashion design skills not in isolation, but while actually creating your own capsule collection—step-by-step—as I build mine. That’s the heart behind Fashion Design Skills, a guided online course designed to walk you through the real process of creating a fashion collection.

Why Fashion Design Skills Matter

When most people think of fashion design, they picture sketchbooks and mood boards—and while those are part of it, fashion is both an art and a strategy. Whether you want to launch your own label or design a wardrobe just for yourself, knowing the right skills can save you time, money, and creative energy.

Here are just a few of the essential skills every aspiring designer should learn:

  • Critical Path Planning
  • Research & Concept Development
  • Moodboarding
  • Fashion Sketching
  • Design Development
  • Fabric & Trim Selection
  • Editing a Collection
  • Brand Sizing
  • Pattern Development
  • Basic Sewing Techniques
  • Working with Fit Models
  • Pricing & Budgeting
  • Creating Samples
  • CAD (Computer-Aided Design) Drawings
  • Photoshoot Planning
  • Portfolio Creation

Each of these skills is a building block in your fashion journey—and in the Fashion Design Skills course, we’ll work through them together.

Skills:

🔹 Critical Path: Your Roadmap to Success
A critical path is your project’s timeline. It’s how you know what needs to be done, when, and why. Whether you’re designing for the runway or for your own closet, having a clear structure keeps your creative energy focused—and your deadlines in check.

🔹 Research: The Foundation of Every Strong Collection

Without research, your designs can lack cohesion or depth. In this course, you’ll learn how to draw inspiration from history, culture, art, nature—or wherever your creative instincts lead you—and translate that into design language.

🔹 Design Development: From Idea to Illustration

Using your research, you’ll create croquis (fashion figure templates) and sketch your initial designs. You’ll then refine those ideas in both 2D and 3D formats. This is where your vision takes shape—and it’s also where many designers start to discover their unique style.

🔹 Brand Sizing: Designing for Fit & Function

If you’re planning to launch a brand, you’ll need a size chart. If your designs are for yourself, we’ll build your collection around your own body measurements. Either way, you’ll understand how to size with purpose.

🔹 Pricing & Budgeting: The Make-or-Break Skill

So many collections never make it past the sketch stage because no one budgeted for fabrics, trims, or sampling. I’ll walk you through cost analysis and pricing so your collection isn’t just beautiful—it’s also viable.

🔹 CAD Drawings: No More Fear of Tech

If digital drawing sounds intimidating, don’t worry—I’ve got a simplified method that fashion students and professionals alike have found incredibly helpful. You’ll create clean, industry-standard CADs without getting lost in the tech.

 

How Can You Learn These Fashion Design Skills?

You have a few options:

  • You could Google tutorials and hope for the best
  • You could take a traditional course at a college or design school
  • Or—you could learn directly with me, inside a supportive and real-world environment, for a fraction of the cost.

In the beta version of my Fashion Design Skills course, you’ll join me as I create my next collection. Every step I take, you’ll take.
It’s mentorship + design lab + creative freedom—rolled into one.

Why Learn With Me?

Because I’ve been where you are. I studied fashion the traditional way, but truthfully, the most valuable skills I learned were on the job. From launching my own slow fashion brand to consulting for start-ups, I’ve built my career through hands-on experience, and now I want to share that with you. Here’s how we’ll work together:

✅ When I begin my concept research, so will you
✅ When I sketch my collection, you’ll sketch yours
✅ When I build my production budget, you’ll build yours
✅ When I plan a photoshoot, you’ll map out yours too

And the best part? I’ll be there with you every step of the way.
