Shaun Albin’s Summary

I offer design and development services for innovative technical sports apparel. I have experience in combining apparel design with technology, whether it be fabric technologies, custom sublimation or science. I have experience with thermal body mapping, motion analysis, and compression.

My services include providing graphic illustrations as well as construction direction and fabric specifications. I review sample proto types and advise sampling / pattern making on fit and revisions.

I develop categories based on the client specific price point and market position. The marketing of a product/garment is a very integrated part of design and development. Creating the right marketing story to complement the product is also part of my services.

I have experience in building lines of custom sublimation cycling and triathlon clothing. I have been involved in every aspect of this business, from product development to design and production art, as well as marketing and production.
