Testimonials

“Before ARD, my workload was overwhelming. I needed to delegate project execution without having to micro manage. Amanda seamlessly jumped into our project and understood our brand’s DNA. She pushed us to utilize the newest technology which is saving us hundreds of hours and thousands on samples.”

— Jennifer, Former Client

“I feel fortunate to have worked closely with Amanda, developing and launching a brand. She was easy to work with and understood the challenges in the sourcing and production world. She exudes passion and has a ‘no stones left unturned’ attitude. I highly recommend ARD as your design destination.”

— Meghna, Current Partner

“What really sets her apart is her technical expertise. Amanda doesn’t just think about design—she understands the full manufacturing process and consistently brings thoughtful recommendations on how to reduce cost, improve fit, and elevate the overall look of the product… That balance of guidance and collaboration is incredibly valuable.”

— Katy, Former Client

“It is rare that you come across standout talent like Amanda and I'm fortunate to have collaborated with her on various projects. She's efficient, organized, experienced, and innovative. I was impressed with her leadership in meetings, helping my company Techpacker grow in multiple areas.”

— Saral, Current Partner

“Partnering with her was by far the best decision I could have made. When we met, I had my vision and designs in place, but with no fashion background needed to work with someone I could trust who would take me to the next level and make sure I had everything in place for a successful product launch. I am happy to say that is exactly what I got.”

— Traci, Former Client

“Having never worked in the fashion world, Amanda's expertise and guidance was highly valuable. She took the time to listen to me and what my dreams were and then helped create a beautiful product with the utmost quality. Amanda always takes the time to explain the next steps and is usually thinking a few steps ahead of the process to ensure that we are staying on track.”

— Julie, Former Client
