About Trudy:
Trudy is a freelance intimate apparel designer, creator of the Underdressed Podcast, founder of Wayfinder Lingerie Online Academy and a retired military pilot. When she first discovered Clo3D, a software specifically made for patternmaking and 3D design development, she was blown away! She was able to create professional patterns and test them as 3D prototypes based on custom avatar sizes. The amount of resources she could save including paper, fabric and time, was well worth the hours and hours and hours spent learning the software. As a person with diverse interests, a spirit for adventure and always motivated by curiosity and creativity, Trudy enjoys trailblazing and continuously pushing the limits of what is possible!
