I'm a Footwear Design consultant with 10+ years in the sportswear and lifestyle industry.
I have worked on a wide variety of Footwear from technical to lifestyle; from Running shoe's, Outdoor Trail projects, and Cold-Weather boot's to retro-sport basketball, tennis, and running shoes, casual, formal, slipper's and eco-friendly footwear. More recently I have been focused on Men's Lifestyle footwear.
I have worked in-house for brand's such as Puma, Le Coq Sportif, Ellesse, and Ben Sherman. Most recently I have worked with one of the largest independent footwear design consultancies in the world, having the good fortune to work on some projects for brands such as Timberland, Champion, Ugg, and Viking.
I am currently seeking out opportunities as a consultant in Footwear and Accessory design. However, sustainable projects are of special interest to me.
