Shear Panic Studio
Hey! I’m Gabi — a fashion designer and freelancer helping alternative, nerdy, and creative brands turn ideas into real, wearable products. I’ve spent 8 years in the clothing industry and now I freelance with a goal to collaborate with brands I genuinely love and want to help grow!
I started my own cut-and-sew business in 2024, so I know firsthand how challenging (and exciting) it is to build a brand from the ground up. As a design development partner, I’m here to bring structure, quality, and clarity — so your creative vision can level up.
HOW IT WORKS:
Step 1: Discovery Call
A quick 15 min chat to learn about your goals, your brand, and the project you want to bring to life. We clarify vision, scope, and deliverables so we start on the same page. If you want to move forward, I will send an invoice detailing pricing for your project and we can schedule our Concept Call.
Step 2: Concept Call
In this call, you share your moodboards, reference photos, fabric ideas, or any visuals that capture your vision. I review everything, ask follow-up questions, and translate your inspiration into a clear design direction.
Step 3: Design & Development
I get to work building the actual pieces: sketches, construction details, and full tech pack development depending on your package. This is where your ideas take shape and become manufacturing-ready.
Step 4: Final Delivery
You receive polished, professional files that are ready for sampling and factory communication. Revisions and support are included based on your package.
Packages
See below for details. Custom scopes and pricing are available depending on your project needs.
Flat Sketch Package
Receive production-ready flat sketches designed to clearly communicate construction details to your manufacturer, reducing confusion, sampling errors, and costly revisions. Each order includes front and back views of one garment, seam construction callouts, and detailed technical notes to ensure accurate execution. Up to 3 revisions included to refine the design to your exact needs.
Starting cost - $500
Full Tech Pack Package
A complete, factory-ready tech pack that gives your manufacturer everything needed to accurately sample and produce your garment. This package includes detailed flat sketches, a fully broken-out Bill of Materials (BOM), construction callouts, measurements/specs, detail sketches, and clear technical notes to minimize errors, reduce back-and-forth, and streamline production.
Includes one garment and up to 3 revision rounds.
Starting cost - $1,200.
Full Design Partner
A hands-on, end-to-end design partnership where I support your product from concept through production. This tier is ideal for brands that want an experienced designer managing both creative direction and technical execution — without hiring in-house.
I handle design development, full tech packs, material and trim coordination, factory communication, prototype reviews, and fit feedback to ensure your garment is executed at a high standard with fewer mistakes, faster timelines, and stronger final quality.
Monthly retainer - $2,500 first garment / $1,800 for additional garments.
