ABOUT

I’ve been designing footwear for over 30 years; delivering design solutions across a wide range of business models – from large High street corporations to smaller independent brands and innovative start-ups.

Fuelled by curiosity – often with tea and chocolate – diving deeply into inspirations to find the less explored paths and produce unique details to create intrigue for the consumer and pride for the brand owner.

Guided by the desire to inspire trust and longevity in the footwear I design and the way that I work.

Along the way, I’ve been integral to realising new innovations and successful collections, inspiring sub-brands and contributing significantly to the sales of millions of pairs of footwear – from large high street retailers to independent start-ups;
working with factories across Europe, the Far East and Brazil.

Originally from a coastal village in the North East of England; now based in South East London, I’m a designer who believes in the story shoes can tell and the influence they can inspire.
