For me, designing is storytelling. I can't write texts or make music, but creating things is my way to express myself and tell my story.

My shoe is a modular design. The idea was to use as few materials as possible to create a wearable shoe that is ecological ant totally recyclable. The idea is that the shoe can easily be taken in parts and recycle all the different environmentally friendly components. It is also easy to send to a buyer just in envelope so that is a way to save packaging materials.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
