I am a designer based in Los Angeles. I design shoes. Yes, can you believe it? I am happy to say that I get to spend my days sketching shoes, shopping, looking at materials, magazines, etc. I design both women’s and kids’ shoes. I also have dabbled in designing accessories since my return from Spain...Archives

I like to doodle before a project. Sometimes the doodles are not so pretty! That’s part of the process though. Cheers.

From sketch to store.
One of the most satisfying feelings of being a designer is actually seeing your design at a retail store, a magazine, blog, or even better…a person on the street.

Inspiration..where and how?
I was speaking to the design director of one of my clients and we were discussing inspiration. What really is inspiration ? Where do you get it? Can you really be inspired to design a shoe based on a beautiful landscape or an ocean scene? Are you moved by an art piece that brings you [...]
A Shoe Designer’s story.. Not just a Freelancer but an Entrepreneur
Almost four years ago, I worked as an In-house Shoe Designer. It was always fun to have great perks like travel to Europe or Asia at the company’s expense, company parties where people would behave inappropriately, drama at the office, long lunches, etc. I will have to admit it was the life.
