I am an extremely passionate women's footwear designer having designed for brands in Europe and the United States. Over the years, I have crafted numerous collections, blending my design aesthetic seamlessly with the DNA and the creative direction of each brand. My style is a fusion of modern, elegance, timelessness, and with a touch of quirkiness. With a detailed knowledge of footwear structures and pattern making, I bring a comprehensive skill set to the table. Having an educational background in biology, fuels my commitment towards sustainable fashion. My forte lies in creating original designs and shapes that align with both a brand's identity and the market's demands. I relish experimenting with various colourways and materials, marrying innovation with tradition. Moreover, I'm intrigued by emerging footwear technologies and their potential to elevate the comfort and quality of luxury shoes.
