About

I am a highly creative footwear designer for both men’s and women’s collections, with a clear understanding of global market trends and consumer needs. Known in the industry for my expertise in advanced CADs and computer-assisted illustrations, I create compelling visual stories for buyers that streamline the design-to-market process — reducing development costs and accelerating timelines without compromising creativity or quality. With strong leadership skills, I excel at managing and inspiring large creative teams in environments that nurture talent through empathy and mentorship, while upholding the highest standards of design and product excellence. My extensive hands-on experience with world-class factories in Italy, Portugal, and China has given me a deep understanding of manufacturing precision and luxury craftsmanship. A classically trained architect, I transitioned into footwear design, earning degrees in Fashion and Footwear Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and Arsutoria in Milan, Italy. This unique background allows me to combine structural discipline with artistic innovation, resulting in footwear that is both aesthetically striking and technically flawless.
