MADE Outdoor

Custom and made-to-measure systems for apparel can help solve some of the industry's biggest problems - returns, inventory challenges, over-production and waste, and non-inclusive sizing just to name a few. There is a movement happening right now and MADE TECH is proud to be a key piece. Our measurement partner, 3DLOOK, just posted a great article on the on-demand future of apparel. Give it a read to see what is happening, and get in touch with me to talk about how MADE can help your brand. https://lnkd.in/gJJGdxy8

The staggering clothing waste highlighted by National Geographic underscores the urgent need for action in the #fashionindustry. A 30-year career in apparel manufacturing has given me a front-row seat to the chronic issues of overbuying and discarding. The future lies in slow fashion, customization, and made-to-measure solutions, powered by #automation to achieve scale. Thrilled to join forces with fashion automation pioneers Cheryl LeBarr, Dustin Butcher, Dan Robichaud-Carew, Tori Penaherrera, Michael Hofmannrichter, Abhimukth Chaudhuri, Kent Deverell, Colin Woolford, J. Kirby Best, Jud Barr, Kristian Hansen.

🚀 Honored to be the keynote speaker at UBCbiz Tech's inaugural TechStyle Event! 🌟 Reflecting on a pivotal moment 15 years ago during Landmark Forum: Asked what I'd do if I could do anything in the world, I blurted out, "Inspire young people to find their passions early in life." Surprising even myself, it sparked a journey I never anticipated. Transitioning from skepticism to passion, I've embraced this mission wholeheartedly. Now, as an Instructor at the Wilson School of Design and a speaker at events like this, I feel more aligned with my purpose than ever before. Excited for what's to come! 🎉 #TechStyle #Inspiration #PurposeDrivenCareer
