I am a professional Senior Footwear Designer located in Portland, OR. Currently working for HOKA, I have previously designed for Crocs, am an alumni of Pensole and have an Industrial Design bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin - Stout. With a strong passion for footwear, apparel, art, and creating I’m strongly versed in a variety of focuses from footwear design, to industrial design and graphic design. Within my career, I’ve gained experience designing footwear for Fashion, Sport, Adventure, Collabs, Work and Innovation. I believe extensive consumer focus, global marketplace travel, research, and adaptability leads to successful design. Inspiration comes in all forms and for myself snowboarding, hiking, traveling, shopping, and exploring keep me energized, optimistic and passionate as a creative.
