Sampling
adidas + Tunav + Pensole
A Very special project beginning in 2016 for Tunav Nanda and Make a Wish foundation. A shoe created with partnership of Pensole and adidas to auction off 9 pairs for charity and make more dreams come true. Working with D'Wayne Edward's design tapes I created the first round of samples to refine the design and present the concept. Finished the production pairs for the 9 winners with hand made wooden heel counters.
Lace Up: The Ultimate Sneaker Challenge
Working as one of the four makers on Lace Up was one of the most interesting projects. I worked with designers on the show by offering constution solutions, options, and examples before making there design. Working on this film project presented the challenge of producing TV and wear ready samples overnight. Sample turn around times were grueling, creating prototypes and wearable pairs in a few days, it was an intense and fun 8 episodes of making. I made artwork for the advertisement and promotion content for the show.
