2-Day Intensive Tech Pack Masterclass
from $0.00

Designed for aspiring designers, start-up brands, and fashion professionals ready to take control of their product development, this 2-Day Intensive Tech Pack Masterclass delivers the complete industry knowledge required to confidently create professional, factory-ready tech packs using Adobe Illustrator.

Over two immersive full-day sessions, students will learn the exact systems and documentation standards used within the fashion industry — empowering you to move from concept to production without outsourcing technical design.

This is not theory.
This is real-world production training, taught by an experienced fashion designer with extensive industry experience, focused on giving you the skills to manage your collection development entirely in-house.

What You’ll Learn

Across 14 hours of hands-on training, you will learn how to:

  • Build complete, production-ready tech packs in Adobe Illustrator

  • Communicate clearly and confidently with manufacturers and suppliers

  • Document garments to minimise sampling errors and costly revisions

  • Structure measurements, grading, and construction information correctly

  • Prepare factory documentation used throughout global production pipelines

By the end of the masterclass, you will have the knowledge and systems required to independently develop tech packs for your own brand or clients.

Testimonials

“her standard of work is incredible”

“Before launching my business, I had no idea what was involved from a technical design standpoint, so having someone to bounce ideas off, and gain access to industry experience without the pressure and expense of hiring a full time designer has been extremely helpful.

Sarah is knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and her standard of work is incredible. Sarah has done in excess of 10 tech packs for us so far and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Sarah has never failed to deliver. Working with her has benefitted my business in more ways than one.”

Megan Eley - Summer Reign the Label

“my go to person for Technical Fashion requirements”

“Sarah is my go to person for Technical Fashion requirements. In my business I work with designers who don't have the expertise to undertake the complex and detailed technical aspects of fashion like Sarah does. I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of these services.”
