ABOUT THE TEXTILIST

My name is Rachel Meutzner. I am an American textile designer based in Germany. After over a decade in product development, styling, and merchandising, I shifted my focus to textile design, bringing my production knowledge into repeat print & pattern collections for sustainable brands. My background in fit, material sourcing, and factory collaboration continues to inform every print I create.

I work with brands who care deeply about what their garments are made from and how they are produced. My approach combines strong visual storytelling with practical production knowledge, ensuring scale, color, and repeat structure translate seamlessly from concept to garment.

my approach:

I believe thoughtful design begins at the textile level. Print shapes the identity, longevity, and emotional impact of a garment.

Each collection is developed with careful attention to garment scale, fabric type, print method, sustainable production considerations, and overall commercial feasibility.

This integrated approach allows brands to move from creative vision to production with clarity and confidence.

how i can help you:

I partner with sustainable apparel brands to develop custom print designs and cohesive capsule collections that strengthen seasonal narratives and support commercial clarity.

From initial concept to production-ready repeat, I ensure each design is aligned with garment scale, fabric type, and long-term sustainability considerations.

I also offer licensing collaborations and production support to ensure seamless execution from artwork to garment.

I approach every project as a creative partnership, balancing bold visual storytelling with thoughtful, practical design decisions.
