Michael Cook Jr
Footwear Design Intern — New York, NY
About
I REALLY enjoy coming up with off the wall concepts. I'm interested in shoe customization for celebrity clientele. Can do a little acting, plus I have a deep ear for music & creativity and pay close attention to detail. Overall, I am a multi-talented guy with the spark and ambition to drive creative energy in an environment of innovators.

BIO
From a family of multi-talented individuals, Michael Cook Jr began to explore the arts at a very young age.

Michael discovered Savannah College of Art and Design in high school and pursued his passion in Industrial Design. Inner going the experiences Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and PENSOLE Footwear Academy have offered him, Michael was and is able to continue his journey as a great designer.
PHILOSOPHY
Design is everywhere. Design is in everything. Take a second to look around and 'observe' how this world operates. Now, 'rethink' your environment and begin to notice the thought process of every product, every experience, every way of life, and imagine it never existing. How does it look now? Cool right? Strange? Well, design is what makes your life an 'experience,' and not just an inevitable timeline. Love Thinking. Love Creation. Love Design.
