Footwear designer

what I do:

I’m a footwear designer who enjoys blending creativity and practicality. Working closely with the Creative Director, I help shape seasonally relevant concepts informed by trend research, consumer insight, and brand direction. From the first sketch through prototyping and production, I stay hands-on throughout the process. I work closely with technical teams and overseas factories to refine fit, materials, and construction, ensuring each style meets design, performance, and cost goals.
