About
I am a recent graduate from Iowa State University who studied Industrial Design with a concentration in Soft Goods. In the summer of 2015 I had the chance to study abroad at the University of Arts: London College of Fashion. While in London I was part of their Footwear design program, where I was able to design a line of six shoes, construct a women's court heel, and take materials classes. This fall I was away on a full semester internship at BOSCHWERKS Consultancy Firm where I got to manage multiple projects at all stages of the design process.
Recently I finished up my Senior Thesis project at Iowa State University. My thesis was breaking the archetype of skateboarding pads, and skaters views towards them.
Currently I am an associate footwear designer at R.G. Barry. -
