About
I'm a footwear designer with extensive experience in performance and fashion. I chose to study and work in a variety of different footwear categories and brands in order to become as versatile as possible with the goal of creating innovative footwear that performs and inspires. Other interests: music (composing, producing and playing keys). International lifestyle - I lived in several countries which has consistently inspired my design aesthetics.
