Material design and textile innovation have been at the core of my career that has spanned footwear, apparel, accessories and artisan, from envisioning creative material design concepts, experimental development and into bulk production. My work has spanned the custom design of prints, textiles, leather, trims and hardware.
My work spans a broad cross-section of materials: Denim innovation for Puma in partnership with Evisu, Japan. Small batch cashmere and tweeds for Paul Costelloe, Paul Smith and Woolmark. Vintage textile sourcing for Puma’s limited edition “Thrift” initiative. Custom fashion leather design and development for Noe, Cole Haan and Clarks with the most creative tanneries in Italy, Brazil and Korea. Textile design with leading French, Italian and Spanish fashion textile mills for Cole Haan and Puma. Engineered knit innovation in Japan and Korea for the Airpop smart mask. Ground breaking material process innovation for Philippe Starck and Plae sneakers pushing boundaries in molded, fused, heat treated and coated material processes.
