Built for Brands Who Are Growing Thoughtfully

Start small. Start right.

Build something that lasts.

Many of our clients are expanding into knitwear for the first time. They’re looking for expert guidance and a process that’s flexible, clear, and built for where they are now.

That’s where we come in.

We specialize in helping brands start small, start right, and grow with confidence. Our process is collaborative and grounded in deep technical knowledge, from strategy through production. We focus on what works best for your product, your timeline, and your goals, not a one-size-fits-all model.

Clients often return season after season, relying on us for ongoing development, education, and partnership as their collection evolves.

  • "Cristina is not only incredibly creative but also practical, reliable and extremely efficient. Without question, she’s my go-to designer! Highly recommended."

    Josh Gelder, The Fision

  • "Cristina Hernandez is insightful, polished, and deeply knowledgeable— She led a workshop for our freelancers members on the “Essentials of Apparel Development” that covered the whole process from design to execution. Cristina brought a level of professionalism to the topic of apparel entrepreneurship that exceeded expectations. Their talk offered our members a valuable mix of practical strategy and operational know-how."

    - Jalen Vasquez, Freelancers Hub Director, Freelancer’s Union

  • "Cristina was amazing. She walked me through the process from cad to manufacturing. Her all around knowledge of fashion design was a wonderful assistance to me and I was able to rely on her with any questions and/or direction I wanted to take. As someone with a background in fashion but not in the design and production of garments, she was a treasure to work with."

    Eric Dorfman, Upside Down Yogi
