Personal creative expression, back-to-basics methodology, and comprehensive process propel each style and every collection.

Rule Design & Development opened in 2018 with the goal of sharing a realized apparel design experience on a firsthand basis. We began with sourcing services and design consultations, plus development through pattern-drafting, sample-making, and one-on-one fitting sessions.

Since then we’ve grown to offer full-package services, acting as a one-stop shop and educating our clients about domestic production, all while providing the best experience possible. 

While we specialize in womenswear and small-batch production, we love working on new ideas and niche products. We’re here to collaborate with you and your team like a true partner, sharing our expertise to start or grow your apparel brand, and bring your vision to life. 

Corinne loves working with our clients, hearing their ideas and helping bring them to life with the entire Rule DD team. Her grandmother taught her how to sew as a kid and she has been making ever since… Corinne has a BS in Fashion Merchandising from Kent State University, and MA in Costume Design for Performance from UAL London College of Fashion.

Corinne is an Adjunct Lecturer at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. Corinne has designed for independent film, devised theater and dance, wearable art installations, and slow-fashion brands. She has shown work at Cleveland Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
