Quality Peoples is a surf-culture label I co-founded and ran with my creative partner, one of us in Mexico, one in Hawaii, both surfers and graphic designers. The brand was largely graphic-driven, but underneath it we designed a cut-and-sew line, pants, swim shorts, and shirts, and ran sampling and production through overseas factories. It's where I learned to design for the factory floor: speccing garments, managing sampling, and producing a range at scale.
