She left Tommy Hilfiger to bet on herself (and it paid off)

Hey Reader,

This Thursday on CAD Chats, I'm sitting down with someone whose story I think a lot of us can learn from.

​Megan Tou spent years in the corporate fashion world developing apparel for globally recognized brands, including Tommy Hilfiger. She learned how to pair creativity with structure, lead teams, and build product that actually sells.

And then in 2023, she walked away and founded her own apparel design and development consulting business.

Now she works with purpose-driven brands and emerging fashion founders, helping them take their ideas for sweatshirts, joggers, and tees and turn them into production-ready products. End to end. With hands-on support at every step.

We're going to talk about:

→ What the jump from corporate to entrepreneurship really looked like

→ How she uses digital tools (including 3D) in her client work

→ Her advice for designers who want to build a more structured, strategic process

This is one of those conversations that has something in it for everyone, whether you're a working designer, a brand founder trying to figure out production, or someone thinking about making a move of your own.

​Join us live this Thursday, May 28th at 6:30PM ET on YouTube.

See you there!

Mikelle
