    My name is Steve Chang and I am located in Southern California.

    I've been a product/footwear designer for 23+ years for many different companies and individuals in different sizes as an in-house designer and design consultant in different parts of the world.

    I’ve designed and developed numerous categories of products/footwear during that span.

    Some of the brands include Vans, Adidas, Vilebrequin, Wolf and Shepherd, Bungee Obleceni, TCG, K-Swiss, Giesswein, etonic, Phenom Elite, and AND1. I also worked with some of the top athletes and celebrities in building their brands and signature models.

    In addition, I've worked with many start up clients with great vision and ideas and assisted them in getting their visions to come alive in a physical form.
