About
London based Footwear Designer / Developer.
I specialize in Men's footwear, but have also worked on Women's, Sports and Catwalk Shoes in Design, Development, Sourcing and Production.
I have traveled extensively to source and develop components as well as overseeing the production of the collections.
I am bilingual (Polish, English with conversational French, basic Italian and Portuguese).
I can draw freehand or using CAD (fluent in Photoshop, Illustrator, MS Office, Publisher, Corel Draw on Mac or PC).
