Tech Pack Builder

A prototype workflow for turning loose garment notes into a structured production pack with a readable output.

Sample Tech Pack Builder output.
A single output preview makes the idea concrete before the full product exists.
Context

Garment specs often end up split across screenshots, chats, docs, and memory. That makes the handoff brittle before production has even started.

The builder exists to pull those decisions into one flow and prove the output format before the full product is built.

Role

Defined the product concept, shaped the interface logic, and created the sample output used to test the structure of the handoff.

Process

Key decisions

  • Organised the flow around the way a manufacturer reads a pack, not the way a designer remembers making one.
  • Separated garment overview, materials, measurements, and notes into blocks that can be reordered without breaking the export.
  • Treated the output preview as part of the product, not an afterthought.

Key challenges

  • Balancing flexible input with a structured export.
  • Keeping the interface practical instead of turning it into a generic form-builder.
  • Proving the concept with one strong output rather than a lot of unfinished UI.

Key iterations

  • Reduced clutter in the input flow so the pack logic stays obvious.
  • Changed the output hierarchy to mirror real production reading order.
  • Used one concrete sample pack to test readability before building deeper export behaviour.
Outcome

What exists now

  • A structured concept for the builder flow.
  • A sample pack preview showing how the export should read.
  • A clear path from inputs to a client-ready handoff artifact.

What works

  • The output proves the idea without hiding behind future features.
  • The pack structure is readable and production-facing.
  • The project now has a concrete object to react to instead of a vague product promise.

What I'd do next

  • Wire real form state into the flow and move from a static preview to true export generation.
Closing

The important thing here is not polish. It is that the handoff finally has a shape.
