After 10 years in the fashion industry, I wanted to do something more creative,
more challenging.
My inspiration is drawn from the individual, everyone has their own unique
style. My designs are not only diverse but cater to my customer's
personality.
I'm currently working on a collaboration with graffiti and
graphic artists of one off collectable sneakers.
Keep an eye out in the coming months!
