JONAS LEE - FOUNDER

ALONDRA PARK

It’s been a pleasure working with Kay on the development and production of the technical garment in our launch collection. She’s extremely timely, efficient, and knowledgeable and we look forward to working with her on future projects. From material, to fit to construction - her experience is vast. She is a great communicator and helped us identify a great manufacturing partner as well which we couldn’t be happier with. Thank you, Kay!

Kay's leadership and diverse background gives her and her team a great understanding across a broad spectrum in the industry; from Kids to Juniors to Missy and Mens. Their designs are both unique and highly saleable! Marshall Design is a great resource for sure!

Kay was engaged as tech designer for the sweater division at Bailey44 for a month during an exceptionally hectic period. She managed her heavy workload with poise and discipline, and delivered well crafted tech packs for both developments and production. Kay takes her job very seriously, is highly skilled with sweaters and was very well liked at Bailey44, both for the quality of her work and for her interpersonal skills. I can warmly recommend her as a freelance tech designer for sweaters.

Kay is wonderful to work with. She's the perfect combo of professional and personable, and her attention to detail makes me as her client feel safe and confident with her designs & collaboration. Her expertise and experience are tangible, and her passion for her work makes the job fun. I cannot recommend Kay and her services enough!

Kay (Marshall) is one of the best in the business. Such an amazing wealth of information comes with her incredible experience. Top class results. And always with a smile...

Kay has been instrumental in bringing our design vision to life. Her expertise in fabric science, drape, fit, and construction has been critical in laying the foundation for our brand. She created measurement specs from concept to end product and the results have contributed to an impressively low return rate of less than 2% within the first 13 months of launch.            

Kay’s attention to detail and passion for our brand mission and values made our partnership seamless. Our collection has many components as we work with a worker-owned production house in Delhi as well as artisan communities throughout India. Kay’s ability to communicate effectively and problem-solve creatively is unparalleled.

Kay is a highly creative technical engineer who can bring the most complex designs to fruition in ways that maintain the design integrity of a product, of a collection as a whole, and ultimately of a brand.

Kay is the whole package - creative, professional, responsive, resourceful and result-driven. As a bonus, she is pleasure to work with and knows all the great restaurants!

Kay has a special eye for what's beautiful, scalable and sustainable. She possesses a global perspective based on her life experiences and better yet understands keenly how we are all interdependent and that resource management is key to a truly successful product. Global stewardship and beauty are not mutually exclusive, and Kay is the perfect example of this all-to-unusual combination. Besides her professional talents she is a joy to work with. I highly recommend her aesthetic and work practice.

Kay has been pivotal in helping us to transform our idea from concept to tangible, working product. She is thorough, detail oriented and communicates extremely well. She has an in depth knowledgeable of the apparel and accessories market from current trends, to colors, to materials to the latest development and manufacturing processes. Equally important, Kay is a people person. She listens, is easy to talk to, and has integrated seamlessly into our tight-knit (no pun intended!) team.

Kay was engaged to work on technical designs for apparel. Her experience was impressive, but her professionalism and personality stood out from the others! After working with her, she has not let me down once and executed our tech packs precisely where we were able to go to PP right away! Kay is an amazing, talented soul!

The designers at Marshall Design are patient, kind & knowledgable in an industry that can be tough to navigate. For the first time I feel confident that I'll be releasing a well made product that I know I can feel good about. Knowing that I have Kay supervising the process and catching things I most certainly would have missed is something that I am beyond grateful for! Their input is invaluable & the time & money they have saved me in the end is worth every penny - and then some!!

Let’s just start with the facts - Kay is a treasure. Working with her and her assistants on Tonny Sorenson’s planetillogica projects was always fun, and I truly enjoyed the experience - mostly because she makes work a good experience. Kay took the time to curate / art direct / design and manage the artist relations for each and every Artist Edition for Tonny’s line - she even sourced & produced EVERYTHING. She is positive, super creative, ingenious with obstacles and problem solving and can keep even the most stressful situations lively and on track. Kay has excellent communication skills and understands budgets, materials and the psychology of interactive business relationships. I’d work with her any day in a heartbeat.

Working with Kay was like a dream! A few years ago, I began working with the company, Planet Illogica. They wanted to transform artists paintings into wearable art. The idea sounded great but the execution was a problem. Kay was able to stylishly pull and manipulate sections of my paintings and create truly fantastic pieces of clothing. I cherish these shirts to this day. Kay was easy to work with and brought a ton to the table. Kay!!!

TESTIMONIALS

As business owners we always seek to work with those that are experts in their field. We knew that our cut and sew production would be a reflection of our high end lifestyle and fitness brand so we couldn't afford to hire someone any less than a master of their craft. Finding Marshall Design was not only that, but above and beyond what we hoped to find because Kay & her team came with a hustle and immense kindness. Their efficiency is second to none in the industry (we know this from experience) their professionalism is no exception to that rule and are so wonderful to work with.

I can easily rave about what a pleasure it is to know and to have worked with Kay. She is creative, knowledgable, and communicative. I have so much appreciation for the brilliant energy which she brings to every project. She understands all aspects of the industry, and manages to accomplish projects with consideration for time, budget, and integrity. A true pleasure to work with! Strongly recommended!

Kay is extremely knowledgeable, articulate and downright cool. She is great to work with and understands her clients needs and concerns well. She helped me get my company up and running and still my 'go to' gal when I need anything beyond my reach. She helped me explore and find amazing activewear manufacturers downtown, amongst many other projects. I love working with Kay and her very bubbly, but get-it-done attitude.

Kay is very talented, exceptionally hard working, highly knowledgeable, and does it all with a genuine big smile across her face. She is eager to tackle obstacles, and is always on her toes ready for whatever comes next. I never had to bring up anything more than once with Kay, a rare trait to find, and I always knew, whatever the task, that it would be completed with perfection. She's very much a people person, and is able to manage and work very well with anyone. She’s ready and willing to handle the chaos, crazy schedule and determination required in the fashion business. She is a gem and anyone would be very lucky to work with her.
