Services for Sport, Lifestyle & Active brands — from brand DNA to factory-ready concepts.

We help teams define creative direction, design cohesive collections, and validate decisions early with 3D—so development runs faster and with fewer iterations.

  • Creative direction that translates into real silhouettes, colors, materials and graphics

  • Collection design + 3D visualization for early alignment and faster approvals

  • Development-ready outputs: graphics, trims, and technical packs aligned with manufacturing

What we do

Melrose is an independent design partner working alongside internal teams.

We bring structure to creative direction, accelerate validation through 3D, and deliver development-aware tools that teams can actually use.

How our service engagements work

A clear process, built for real product timelines.

mailto: maria@melrosedesign.studio

Step 1 — Brand & Category Alignment

We map brand DNA, category reality, and target consumer into usable design principles.

Step 2 — Creative Direction & Concept

Moodboards + color/material/graphic intent translated into clear design rules.

Step 3 — Design & 3D Validation

We design key silhouettes and validate choices early through 3D visuals.

Step 4 — Development Support

Tech packs, graphics, trims, and handover docummailto: maria@melrosedesign.studioents aligned with production constraints.
