The abundance of people who want to break into the footwear industry from both within and beyond the boundaries of fashion is ever present; I'm their guide through the process. After getting to know the local Los Angeles footwear manufacturers' and suppliers, and starting my career working in a California shoe factory, I worked with various Chinese factories to gain proper experience in both countries. I built the knowledge and contact base I needed to start my own custom shoe collection built right here in California and took it on the road to sell direct to customers. I began freelance designing for companies like Michael Antonio and Chinese Laundry and once everything was lined up, began to consult on design and product development for a variety of brands. Through this process, I've grown my referral base to include associates in pr & product development, top notch photographers & graphic designers, shipping & duty experts, dozens of factories & agents overseas to help with negotiating and translations and of course the factories I hold close to my heart right here in Los Angeles.
