Savannah, Georgia, United States
Performance designer with a focus in sustainability and footwear. I enjoy deep time thinking, disruptive innovation, and designing solutions for a better planet, society, and economy. Today design and the role of the designer are transforming. As a creative, I exist between the world that is and the world that could be. By using sustainability and triple bottom line thinking as a core lens in my design process I leverage systems thinking and innovation to create impactful design solutions. I have experience working with 3D modeling and printing technologies, am skilled at crafting footwear by hand, can make production ready tech packs and can produce high quality design renders and visualizations. Additionally, I have industry experience leading design collections for brands, product lifecycle management, analyzing FOBs, fit testing, and developing specialized footwear for professional athletes.
