Michael Hobbs

15+ years as a designer I have the capacity to function in a variety of categories within footwear. My passion for the design process and the implementation of unique product solutions, is the driving force for my creativity. I enjoy the organic process of achieving relevant design in a constantly changing environment. Challenging myself and learning through others ignites new insight and possibilities in design exploration.

Self motivated. Highly developed visual communication sensibilities. Extremely productive in a team environment and on my own. Flexible and willing to assist others in meeting product deadlines. Capacity to generate ideas for any given assignment.

With the successful launch of CONS Skateboarding in Costa Mesa, CA, working directly with creative director producing product in all tiers of distribution.
