01About
Our technical design hub leverages technology by aiding designers and brands to integrate 3D design into their product development strategy while helping you transition to the factory setting or allocate you if needed to develop samples or bulk produce a line. This strategy allows to bridge the communication gap between the designer concept and factory sample while providing a sustainable development process by cutting the use and investment on resources for sampling, delivering a more accurate fit and providing accuracy & transparency all around while cutting down the development time significantly. We cater to both men’s and women’s for swim, athleisure and RTW. By working with us, we provide you with a development timeline to meet your estimated production deadline, full techpacks, patternmaking and sampling, fit sessions and all digital documents as well as help you transition to the factory setting or allocate you if needed. We can also help you with the communication of your factory during development sample (1st fit to PP sample) as well as manage all your fittings (if you needed to do a few rounds of sampling) this can be charged a-la-carte or as a monthly flat fee. We have launched brands like Wyatt Outfitters, Morgan Taylor Scrubs, The Waight, among others. Worked with brands like Zeidel & Co, Kaia Bleu, Launch Your Collection, High Fashion Group, among other continuous partnerships. Our clients range from startup designers to established brands within the US and internationally for both womenswear and menswear market Our chief designer is a team leader experienced in multi-brand development in the private label category, high rate design adoption rate & extensive experience working with overseas and local factories by serving as a bridge between multiple resources.

Couldn't recommend Nicole highly enough
Her work speaks for itself. Not only that, she's there when you need her and that is something I cannot thank her enough for. Starting out, there are so many choices of who to work with. I reached out to many others and I'm glad I chose to work with her. Not knowing about the industry to now starting production, I couldn't be happier with choosing to work with Nicole. I will continue to work with her. She's an amazing designer. Aside from her impressive quality work, as I & prior reviews vouch for, she's someone you can count on. I can always reach out to her and she's always ready to help in whatever way she can. From design to samples, to patterns and tech packs, from idea to production, no one works harder for you. She gets it done.

Amazing!
Nicole is super talented, meticulous, great time management, and organized. She is very prompt with responding to calls, texts, emails. She also understood my visions and brought it to life. When I show people in the fashion industry her work, they are very impressed.
I love that she is very friendly, honest and holds integrity. I 100% recommend her!

Creative, experienced, and supportive designer!
I worked with Nicole over the past month to design 3 styles of bras, and she her and team were such a joy to work with. I had a somewhat clear starting point but asked her to think about how we could get creative with the designs, and she took the time to thoroughly and thoughtfully think through different options. She was extremely patient explaining the entire process to me (I was totally new to it) and allowed me to go through a few iterations of the designs. I highly recommend working with Nicole and her team!

Thus far we've had a fantastic experience with Nicole Melendez. She has great knowledge of the industry and the design process. She is very patient with our questions and delivers high quality work. Nicole is also very professional and hard working. It is evident that she loves what she does and is committed to ensuring her clients have a good experience.

So generous!
Nicole is VERY generous with her time and sent me a great (and detailed!) email outlining various aspects of the manufacturing process and companies that would be best to serve our needs as well as to explain what she does; I hope to work with Nicole in the future! I would recommend anyone to speak to her! Very knowledgable, kind and generous with her time!

Nicole Melendez Review
I am currently working with Nicole and it has been a very satisfying experience thus far. After I had found her on Maker's Row, I stopped my search for other designers because I felt very confident in my decision. I am new to the world of fashion and designing but Nicole has done a great job in making me feel more comfortable with the work as well as helping me find what I am looking for. She is a very kind and understanding woman who is very pleasant to work with and is well educated within the field of fashion and design. She is very professional and punctual and always meets her deadlines - if there are any last minute changes in her plans, she lets you know immediately. I am thankful to have been introduced to Nicole via Maker's Row and am excited for what our future work relationship holds.
