Rachel Arnsdorf
From a young age, Rachel Arnsdorf was fascinated by how clothing became a part of our identity, how it affects the way we move and feel. She quickly taught herself to sew so she could empower all of her stuffed animals to express themselves.
At some point, she began making clothes for humans too, and a few years later decided to study costume design at the University of Michigan.
Rachel then spent the next fifteen years building a career in fashion as a patternmaker & tech designer, focusing on USA-made apparel. She worked for Abercrombie & Fitch, Eileen Fisher & Patagonia, in addition to some USA-based apparel factories. When COVID hit and Rachel was struggling to do her patternmaking work without a mannequin, she dove head-first into CLO3D and discovered the joy of getting instant feedback on pattern corrections by doing digital fittings.
Rachel now works for Vera Bradley Inc as a Digital Product Curator – meaning, if 3D is involved, so is she! She uses 3D tools to help improve fit, grading, reduce samples needed, get quicker approvals, improve internal communication and provide accurate, 3D renders for B2B sale pitches.
