About Me.
Driven, creative and enthusiastic 3D Designer with over 15 years experience in footwear product/design development. Proven track record working on successful, large volume product lines with an excellent grasp of modern 2D and 3D creative tools. An innovative thinker with a strong understanding of footwear production methods, I enjoy working closely with others to deliver outstanding, functional designs.
