Experience that shows
40+ years of hand pattern making.
Accuracy is what matters most. Patterns that fit cleanly, grade consistently, and move smoothly into production. Hand drafting gives the control needed to get those details right.
May has worked as a high-end pattern maker for more than 40 years. After immigrating from Korea, she built her craft in Los Angeles, focusing on precise hand patterns that hold up in sampling and production. That same standard of accuracy is what May Pattern Studio delivers today.
