Journal of a shoe designer

Over the last year, I’ve been working with a retailer who carries apparel, footwear, and accessories that has a bit of a Kohl’s vibe.
This summer I headed to London for a tradeshow and then headed to Alicante, Spain to review development. It’s always nice to visit the factories, check on the designs, see new materials, visit suppliers, and check out any new constructions the factory may have for future development.

Ts a shoe designer, I’m obviously always looking at shoes. Whether it’s people on the street, online shopping, instagram shoe stalking, shopping at stores, flea markets or on Etsy, shoe voyeurism is top of mind.
