JUDD CARGIN DESIGN

Services

Two services, one person, start to finish.

I turn ideas into production-ready, profitable product: collection concepts, tech packs, factory communication, fit samples and bulk approvals. Senior-level, flexible and independent, working with brands across Australia and New Zealand.

01

Design

Collections with a clear point of view, built around your customer, your margins and what sells.

  • A strong concept and range plan for every collection
  • Colour and colourway strategy that works across the range
  • Fabric selection that suits your product, price point and customer
  • Design details that earn their place
  • Trend forecasting tied to your customer
  • Mood boards and concept sketches

02

Product development

Technical development that gets your design made the way you intended, on time and on margin, with fewer sample rounds.

  • Tech packs a factory can build from: flats, construction, measurements and bills of materials
  • Direct communication with your factories and suppliers
  • Price negotiation with suppliers, backed by in-person experience with factories in China
  • Fit sessions and clear fit comments that cut sampling rounds
  • Bulk fabric and trim approvals before production starts
  • Costing against your GP% target
  • Pre-production approvals and quality checkpoints

Process

From first call to approved product.

01

Discovery call

A free 20–30 minute call about your brand, range, price point, margin target and timeline.

02

Estimate

A written proposal with an estimate of hours or days within two business days.

03

Agreement and kick-off

We sign the agreement, agree the timeline and start with a kick-off brief.

04

Development

Milestone reviews at concepts, first sample, fit sample and pre-production.

05

Handover

Final files and approved samples, then a conversation about next season.

Working together

Pay for time, not per tech pack.

I bill by the hour, by the day or on a monthly retainer, against an agreed estimate. Rates are quoted by email after a discovery call.

Hourly

For small jobs: a single tech pack, a set of flats, artwork or a revision round.

Day rate

For project work, range development or temporary design cover.

Monthly retainer

For brands that want a designer on call every month, with priority booking.

Let's talk about your next collection.

Senior menswear and activewear design, from first idea to approved bulk. Book a free 20–30 minute discovery call to talk through your brand, your next range and how I can help.
