Footwear Design Apprentice

Boston, MA, USA
21 years in, and I have competed in a variety of sports at a high level. Something about the modern day athlete inspires me to design. Records are broken, standards are raised, and then new goals are set.

As a race, we are constantly becoming more aware of our capabilities, and design is a huge part of making this happen. Through empathy, innovation, and creating connections I strive to enable the next era of athlete
