That’s a wrap on NY Fashion Week ?? I had a really fun time speaking at a panel moderated by Rachel Sterling from Alternew on Monday, where I got to discuss about the intersection of fashion and AI with Sean Sinko from ThredX and Katherine Manweiler from Montage. Earlier last weekend, I got to participate in a pitch competition at Edge NYFW. I feel so welcomed by the fashion tech community in New York despite that our team has just recently moved here. It was an afternoon filled with interesting connections and discussions. Special shoutouts to: Colette Johnson, Karissma Yve, Nancy Rhodes, Becca Wenning, Pietro Novelli I was floored by all the insanely talented engineers who reached out to us after the events with the interest to join us on our mission ?? If you're a 10x engineer or know someone who is, we would love to hear from you - link in the comments below.

? Introducing Style Builder by Make the Dot?? Design teams use Style Builder to create photorealistic design renderings in seconds. Style Builder magically combines your custom sketches, fabrics, colors and prints to visualize the designs you have in mind - giving you more time to be creative. It allows you to design 2x more products in half the time, and save millions of sampling costs annually since the first sample you receive would now be much more accurate. It also helps merchandising teams gain confidence in how?the designs will translate to the final products before making the final buy decision. The same assets can then be repurposed for your sales team to pitch to wholesale buyers - allowing them to sell early and solicit buyer's feedback. Curious how you can create your next collection with Style Builder?
