About
From a small town in the woods of North Carolina there emerged a small kid with a big imagination. This imagination was driven with an ambitious spirit that forged his talents to take him to new heights. He moved to CA to pursue industrial design, while there he honed his skills and design eye to what it is today. Always a student to the knowledge that is unknown, and stays hard at work. He dives into the design world with an unstoppable passion to make his stamp on the world with one shoe at a time.

Also I was actively engaged with weekly meeting with PM's, the color design team and the pattern makers. All while presenting my ideas and projects as clearly and effectively as possible.
