astrid hanenkamp
3D Fashion Designer, Freelancer
I’m a 3D fashion designer with a passion for bringing contemporary knitwear, sweaters, cut-and-sew, and soft wovens to life—whether in 3D or 2D. I work alongside fashion companies to turn design concepts into stunning digital realities, using cutting-edge tools like Browzwear, Style3D, and Blender. This is my third year at the IACDE 3D Summit, where I thrive on the fresh challenges and innovative digital garments that each event inspires. For me, 3D fashion is both a canvas for creative expression and a powerful way to guide brands toward more sustainable practices.

Fashion Designer, TFG
I am a Traditional a 2D Fashion Designer with 20 years’ experience, who has recently cross-trained into the exciting world of 3D Fashion Design about 3 years ago. I am loving every moment being at the edge of this kind of technology, and all it’s possibilities, and honoured to have been invited to collaborate on this year’s exciting event.
The previous IACDE 3D Summit events have been so valuable to me. Not only has it exponentially enhanced my 3D skills, but it has also challenged me into developing product types and using technologies that I, otherwise, would not have considered attempting so soon on this journey. In a world where everyone seems to be gatekeeping information, this event offers upskilling opportunities for everyone from around the world, and networking with talented professionals who are genuinely energized to share their knowledge!

Special Events Coordinator, IACDE 3D Summit
We live in extraordinary times where technology and creativity intersect in unprecedented ways. My journey in the fashion industry spans over 25 years, from my early days walking down NYC’s 7th Avenue, inspired by my mother—a skilled seamstress and pattern maker in the garment district—to my education at the High School of Fashion Industries and F.I.T. College.
From sales to design, Fashion Week to global factory visits, I’ve witnessed the industry evolve and adapt. Today, I’m focused on its future—leading the charge in Digital and Sustainable Fashion. Over the past 8 years, I’ve immersed myself in 3D Fashion, using this transformative medium to empower professionals, brands, and companies to navigate the digital landscape.
As the “3D Evangelist,” I am passionate about blending artistry and technology to create, educate, and inspire. Through technical design, digital product creation, and management, I am dedicated to shaping a more sustainable and innovative industry—building a bridge between tradition and the future of fashion.

Amber Isaac
Founder, Tailorex
I founded Tailorex in 2021 out of an organic need to empower the apparel industry toward a more sustainable future. With a career in fashion, immersed in technical design and patternmaking, my talent for great fit exploded through digital product. I didn’t just validate the common assumption that digital fashion reduced time and resources but established a new standard of excellence which is downright enviable, receiving Bulk approvals on 1st fit samples, season over season. I have taken these wins and used them to build teams to do the same. My vision is that success is the result of a passion for one’s craft plus creativity to find solutions to everyday problems, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. It is my pleasure to partner with IACDE to further the reach of digital fashion and encourage the next generation to wonder what is possible.
