Projects
  • F&F Back to School
    F&F Back to SchoolThis was a project for F&F designing children's back to school shoes. With children's footwear it is important to sell to both the parent and the child. I did this by maintaining safety and practical aspects such as a retro reflective mud guard, breathable airflow lining and grip sole. I also combined this with fun detachable accessories for the children, allowing these shoes to be adapted to be worn outside of school. As F&F are present in not only the UK market, I designed separate colourway
  • Laser Cut Sphynx Shoes
    Laser Cut Sphynx ShoesA collection of veg tanned leather shoes with laser cut sphynx and eye detailing. The idea of these shoes is to build up layers of laser cut/etched leather to create a more three dimensional image.
