Patent Sketches & Innovation Development

Role: Fashion Innovation Designer, Patent Design Support

Tools: Hand Sketching, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Deliverables: Patent sketches, CAD drawings, concept iterations, alternative embodiments

These patent development sketches were created in collaboration with in-house counsel to support both utility and design patent filings. The work included visual development for a utility patent featuring innovative gripping wing technology for bra construction, as well as a design patent for an ornamental center charm attachment.

My role involved translating concepts into clear visual representations through hand sketching and digital refinement, creating CAD sketches, exploring alternative embodiments, and iterating designs to support the patent filing process while accurately communicating design intent and functionality.
