Footwear Designer

Creative & Design

While designing shoes for many years, I discovered that I have an eye for color and trend that makes me uniquely valuable. Not only can I provide conceptual and detailed technical designs, but I can also create original prints and on trend color palettes. This mix of skills is not easy to find in one designer.

My speciality is in the action sports, athletic and outdoor markets for footwear, accessories and apparel. Because I currently freelance for multiple brands, I've found my skill set to have grown exponentially in a short period of time, which for a designer is extremely valuable.
