Sewn Goods
Product Design
Whether your invention requires some basic troubleshooting, a total redesign/overhaul, or if you're looking to build an entirely new idea, Jen Rocket LLC has the solutions and skills to bring sewn products (often called soft goods) to the next level or create elements that don’t yet exist.
Sewing is alive and thriving at Jen Rocket LLC. We conceptualize, engineer, and streamline, to make sure that your prototype functions exactly as it needs to represent your business. Once a design is set, we can help with next steps, from testing strategy, creating small runs, or moving into large scale manufacturing.
From start-ups to large corporations we offer services that are strong in design, communication/documentation, and flexibility.
"I approached Jen about working with my team to find creative design solutions for our wearable, sleep technology. Throughout experimentation, Jen would capably adapt to changes and eagerly introduce new creative solutions. Jen is very easy to work with and her understanding of sewn engineering has been a valuable resource."
