Process

Process

01

Discovery Call

Understand your brand, product, and construction goals before any technical work begins.

02

Construction Audit

Reverse-engineer references, map construction logic, and identify what the build actually requires.

03

Tech Pack / CLO Build

Full technical documentation and/or 3D digital sampling, iterated until factory-ready.

04

Factory Handoff & QC

Direct factory liaison through sampling and production, with quality gates at every stage.

Every seam has a code. Every pattern notch, a decision.

FNTKS translates concept into construction / the layer between a designer’s idea and a scalable process on the factory floor.

Worth flagging upfront - I haven't built hijab/modest-wear pieces specifically, so what I'm sending shows the adjacent skills that transfer directly: structured tailoring, coverage-conscious draping, and technical construction for complex closures. 


I also have a network of pattern makers and CLO specialists I work with who bring relevant experience where needed - happy to talk through how I'd resource the technical side of this properly.



FNTKS is a technical design agency built around one idea - your vision matters, and it deserves to be executed accurately. Buth that doesn’t negate the technical gap, that means finding the right specialist for the job, not defaulting to doing everything 

in-house.


We connect early-stage labels with the right patternmakers, technical designers, and factory partners for their specific brief, then oversee the work from concept through production.


Led by a technical designer and patternmaker with experience across major fashion houses, FNTKS brings heritage-level technical standards to brands who are just getting started - without the overhead of a full in-house team.


We handle sourcing the right approach, tracking production against spec, and consulting throughout, so founders get build-ready results without juggling vendors themselves.
