About Me

Grounded in making footwear by hand

I am a footwear designer, shoemaker, orthotic footwear technician, and creative entrepreneur working at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design, technical footwear production, and creative education.

My practice combines hands-on making, material exploration, technical problem-solving, and a commitment to developing the future of the footwear industry.

Through my creative practice, consultancy, educational activities, and the OEF Initiative, I aim to create meaningful connections between craftsmanship, innovation, and community empowerment.
