Meet Mindy

Mindy opened Clothier Design Source a factory and design house in 2006 and has been helping individuals build their product ever since! With experience in creating over 1,000 different products- you could say she’s an expert (we do!).

Questions about sourcing fabrics, picking trims, designing product, developing tech packs and figuring out the best way to manufacture your product are what Mindy is best at!

Over the past 14 years, Mindy has found her most rewarding part of the job is helping new entrepreneurs navigate through the complicated apparel industry. She created the one-day course for people wanting a look inside the industry with applicable learnings to help you start your brand.

And she heard from so many of her students that they wanted more!

So, we built a membership platform that takes you through the 4-Step process in 6 months with Mindy and her team of experts. We teach you in-depth tips specific to your product, help keep you accountable and on a timeline and get you ready to launch your product!
