  • About

    I am a footwear designer with 4 years of work experience in the outdoor field. I graduated from Western Washington University, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design along with a minor in Sustainable Design. I am interested in forming working relationships with people and companies that will challenge me to learn new skills and processes, while allowing me to teach what I know in return. I am very interested in cross-disciplinary opportunities that will allow me to work with individuals who are able to push me to new creative heights, no matter their field of work or study. My main passion is in shoe design, particularly sculptural and architecturally-inspired women's wear.
