Footwear Designer
Personal vision is a sustainable & technology-focused design approach, without aesthetic compromise. Interested in innovation for footwear, I adopt a forward thinking and learning based approach which inspires my design. Ambitious and passionate about all-things visual, retail experience accompanies design experience and a determination for excellence in everything that I do.
