A Vision Born from Passion
In 2007, as global fashion trends began to shift and consumers demanded faster turnaround times, Alejandro Esparza noticed a major problem. Traditional pattern-making methods were slow and inefficient. With more than 30 years working with brands like 7 For All Mankind, Guess, and Pacific Sun Wear, he realized the industry needed a modern solution.
Thus, Smart Pattern Making was born. Our founder set out to merge old-world craftsmanship with new technology to make design faster and more precise.
The People Behind the Innovation
In 2010, after the economic downturn, the fashion industry was looking for ways to cut costs and boost efficiency. Alejandro gathered a team of experts in design, technology, and craftsmanship to help meet this need.
These talented professionals shared a vision for a streamlined, digital approach to pattern making that would save time and resources for countless designers and manufacturers.
The Challenge: Transforming the Industry
By 2013, social media and fast fashion were changing the game. Trends moved faster than ever, and the need for speed in design became urgent. Traditional methods just couldn’t keep up.
This challenge pushed our team to adopt new digital tools and workflows, setting new industry standards and showing why a modern solution was necessary.
Precision Meets Creativity
In 2016, the fashion world was becoming more competitive with brands vying for global attention. Advances in technology allowed designers to be more creative, but only if their production methods could match their ideas.
Smart Pattern Making responded by developing advanced tools and techniques that delivered unmatched precision. This blend of art and science helped designers bring innovative ideas to life quickly and accurately.
A Vision for the Future
By 2019, digital transformation was in full swing. The fashion industry needed ready-to-use online tools to keep up with rapidly changing trends and shorter production cycles.
