Sewn Goods
Product Design
Whether your invention requires some basic troubleshooting, a total redesign/overhaul, or if you're looking to build an entirely new idea, Jen Rocket LLC has the solutions and skills to bring sewn products (often called soft goods) to the next level or create elements that don’t yet exist.
Sewing is alive and thriving at Jen Rocket LLC. We conceptualize, engineer, and streamline, to make sure that your prototype functions exactly as it needs to represent your business. Once a design is set, we can help with next steps, from testing strategy, creating small runs, or moving into large scale manufacturing.
From start-ups to large corporations we offer services that are strong in design, communication/documentation, and flexibility.
"Jen has been a creative and reliable collaborator, consistently delivering outstanding soft goods solutions for our company. Her expertise in producing straps, structural components, and innovative designs has been invaluable in the development of our ankle and hip exoskeletons, as well as our lift shoes. The quality and durability of Jen's work has significantly contributed to the success and performance of our products.”
Industrial Design Teams
Are you building a team to create your next prototype? Does that project involve any sewn goods? Your design will have its best chance at success, the sooner you consult with Jen Rocket.
Jen has been a valuable member of a multitude of industrial design teams. She has consulted, designed, collaborated, and constructed an eclectic variety of prototypes for companies in development. Jen can work remotely or on-site—with machines and her team if the project requires it.
"I knew from my first conversation with Jen that I wanted to work with her and I wanted her to design my baby carrier. I love her forward-thinking ideas, attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and she is always thinking about the person who will be consuming the product.
She gets the design and business aspects which is what I needed to be successful."

“Jen worked on our product in its earliest stages of development. Seeing it come together from simple drawings to something we could hold and feel was incredibly helpful to how we would eventually refine certain elements. She was diligent and listened well to our needs.”
