The human behind the report

Senior Garment Technologist · 40 years in the clothing industry

A spreadsheet isn't a garment.

I've spent my career working with garments, specifications, sizing, grading, fit, construction, suppliers and factories.

One thing experience teaches you is that technical information has to work in the real world. You have to understand the product, fabric, body, fit and person who will actually wear it.

The Garment Tech Clinic combines that experience with modern AI-assisted analysis to give emerging clothing businesses access to an experienced technical second opinion before they commit further money to development or manufacture.

AI finds. Experience judges.

AI is exceptionally useful for checking complex documents, comparing information and surfacing inconsistencies. But final technical judgement remains human.

What the Clinic is — and isn't

The Clinic is an independent garment-technology assessment service.

It is not a manufacturer, factory approval service, bulk-production quality controller or product-certification body.

That boundary is deliberate: we review the technical documentation and give a professional second opinion. The customer and manufacturing partners retain responsibility for sampling, compliance and production authorisation.
