Fashion / Apparel Design - Business Archive

We are an industrious team fueled by fashion, and a bit of coffee, producing high quality activewear in the Pacific NW.  Started ten years ago, out of a tiny 250 sq. ft. business center; JLD-Studios is now a full service US Clothing Manufacturer and Development Resource for fashion brands of all sizes.

We design for you. We never forget that you will move and live in our pieces. So, we travel across oceans to see, feel, and drape ourselves in the fabrics that will someday touch you. We immerse ourselves in the chemistry of skin science and the physics of body movement so we can construct clothing to make you feel lighter and faster. Because when you feel good about what you are wearing, you feel confident about what you are doing. We spent our last two decades designing for the most respected athletic companies in the world. Your favorite running shoes, that go-to jacket – we’ve likely fashioned those in our previous lives.
As founders of Creative Capital Design, we are, at our core, friends who know we are better together. Our success is largely a product of those who mentored, encouraged, and inspired us along the way. We continue to be buoyed up by the enthusiasm and energy, imagination and intelligence, of those around us. Now it’s our turn to share our knowledge and resources with the industry that has treated us so well. We developed Inside Fashion Design, a behind the scenes look into the world of apparel design. A site dedicated to first-year students, emerging designers and industry leaders alike. It’s a place to teach and to learn. A place to bring everyone into the conversation and celebrate what we all love to do.

Drawing inspiration from many sources, I have built a dedicated clientele. My skill and esteem as a designer and creator of clothing has garnered me collaborations with the Portland Art Museum, Contemporary Craft Museum, and Oregon Ballet Theater. My garments are known for their clean lines, tailored silhouettes, timeless appeal, and impeccable construction.

Digital patterns, accurate tech packs, and thoughtful design are the difference between making progress and wasting money.
With years of industry experience under our belt, we couple a well-equipped studio with a deep understanding of the production process in order to help you navigate the space between initial concept and commercial success.
