Yusef Haroun Turn your design into a factory-ready tech pack

Product designer with over 10 years in creative fields — film, music video, and fine art before apparel — and a four-year design career across Vans, Dickies, REI, and Smartwool. At Vans, I designed fleece and knits for the FA27 season and fleece and woven shorts for SP27, apprenticing at every station and learning to build tech packs the way the industry actually does it.

Here's what school leaves out: talent gets you noticed, but tech packs get you hired. It's the skill every apparel employer screens for, and almost no one teaches it. So I do. I teach aspiring designers to build a complete, factory-ready tech pack for their own garment — the kind of portfolio piece that proves you're ready for the room, not just hoping to get in.
