PersonalStatement/Profile
I am originally an Architect and a Masters holder of Footwear design from
London College of Fashion. I mainly utilize 3D technology, 3D printing and rapid
prototyping along with traditional making skills in my footwear. In addition, I am
highly accustomed to using laser cutters and CNC machines for the making of my
work. I like to focus on reinventing the structure of the shoe as a product in terms
of its construction and its assembly for weight bearing. I aspire to carry out this
same method of using both technology and traditional techniques in not only
footwear design, but also women’s wear and accessories.
