Founder and Designer, 2024 to 2025
Surface Athletic Design Inc.
Hybrid swimwear designed for adventures in and out of the water.
I designed the Evolution Line from a blank page: five styles, two tops and three bottoms, in four colourways. The brief I set was simple. What if the technical outdoor brands made something for the water? Each piece works as a base layer under a run, ride and hike kit, so you are ready when a swim presents itself.
I drew the flats, built the tech packs, specified bonded hems, flatlock seams and branded gripper elastics, ran fit sessions and alterations, and took the line through production in Vancouver using Italian technical fabric made from recycled yarn. The collection launched in summer 2025.
Scope: design, technical packs, fit development, sourcing, production management
