Dare2b – Skiwear and Outdoorwear Design Mens
After finishing my role at Umbro in Manchester, I took a maternity cover position with Dare2b, part of the Regatta Group. I worked in-house on mens and kids activewear, focusing on ski and outdoor collections that blended technical function with retail appeal.

Design and Collection Focus
Collections included insulated outerwear, performance base layers, technical trousers, and all-weather gear suitable for alpine sports and British winter use. Products were developed in collaboration with the wider in-house team, ensuring alignment with Regatta’s commercial strategies and Dare2b’s brand direction.
Freelance Continuation
Following the contract, I continued to freelance with Dare2b, helping to deliver seasonal updates and CAD support for upcoming retail collections. My design input helped improve garment performance, reduce development time, and align design with market needs.
