WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE
J&I FASHION TECH
Many clients believe they need a pattern.
Sometimes they do.
But more often, they need something much more valuable.
They need someone who can help them think through their product before development begins.
Before recommending a solution, we ask questions like:
- Who is this product designed for?
- What problem should it solve?
- How should it fit?
- How should it perform?
- Which materials and construction methods will best achieve that goal?
Because every technical decision should have a purpose.

Amy Valdez
Founder & CEO, Senior Technical Designer
Hi, I'm Amy Valdez.
For more than 25 years, I've specialized in Product Development, Technical Design, Pattern
Making, Bra Engineering and Fit Development for Intimate Apparel.
Throughout my career, I've worked with entrepreneurs launching their first collection, growing
brands expanding their product lines and established companies developing technically
demanding products where fit, comfort and performance truly matter.
I've also collaborated directly with overseas manufacturing partners, supporting product
development through technical fittings, engineering refinement and pre-production approvals.
Over the years, I realized something important.
Clients rarely come to me because they simply need a pattern.
They come because they need someone who can help them make the right technical decisions.
That realization became the foundation of J&I Fashion Tech.
I don't just develop products.
I help people think through them.
