Mike came well-prepared with several questions, current work samples, and reference examples. We spoke about vision of his apparel/CLO3D project and how to best execute to bring it to life.

Perfect! Great tutor! Very helpful

So's response
Ethan reached out for guidance on elevating his oversized button-down shirt, aiming to blend streetwear and outdoor influences. He came prepared, enthusiastic, and asked thoughtful, in-depth questions about garment construction and apparel design. With his CLO3D file ready to review, we were able to add pleats while also discussing fit and overall style direction.

I was really impressed by his level of preparation, research, and passion. He’s clearly on the right path to creating some amazing apparel pieces—keep it up!

So's response
Luis did a great job coming into our meeting with questions about his project. I was able to learn more about what he was struggling with, specifically tech packs and CLO 3D. He sent me a few of his files and I was able to help debug some of his issue, a well as develop a learning plan.
