Footwear Designer/Developer

IT & Technology

At Refuel Global Brands, I work directly with a number of young up and coming
companies such as Folk, Glorious Gangster, Bee Inspired, Projekts NYC, Kings will
dream and most recently Loyalti. I am the sole designer for Loyaliti which is an
extremely exciting new brand, I am solely responsible for this brand from start to finish which hands be a huge amount of pressure and responsibility. My creativity is
bursting working with the aforementioned labels, In turn, projecting my own language
as a designer to showcase the personality of the brands. I also work closely with buyers and other staff from Foot Asylum. Here I focus my eye on materials, colours and applications to create exclusive styles for their stores. I have more responsibility
within this role which gives me the power to create my best work and show how my
skills are valuable to the company. I have had the opportunity to be part of a team
who attend multiple development trips to Portugal and China. My eye for detail is
continuing to grow to greater strengths and working closely with the factories,
exploring the material markets has helped with that. I look forward to growing further within this position.

Within my job role at Gola, I have been lucky enough to take over in areas of Athletics, Hiking and Lifestyle this has given me a massive sense of achievement and taught me so much. I work within a small team so we really have to knuckle
down and get to work but at the same time keeping the design process fun and
creative.
