Turning Collections into Clear, Focused Products
that Work
Creatively and Commercially
Feminine heels, flats & boots — shaped into clear, focused products with defined roles.
With over a decade of experience designing for European footwear brands, I combine creative direction with a strong understanding
of product and market dynamics.
My work goes beyond translating trends into design. I approach collections from a product perspective: considering target customer, buying behavior, and the role each style plays within the range.
By bringing structure and clarity into the development process, I help teams cut through complexity, avoid unnecessary iterations, and move forward with more confidence.
The result: collections that feel focused, consistent, and commercially strong- without losing their creative edge.
Footwear Design
I support brands in developing footwear that is not only visually strong, but clearly defined as a product.
Each style is designed with a specific role in mind — considering customer, context and commercial relevance from the start.
• Product-focused design with clear roles within the collection
• Strong understanding of fit, construction and materials
• Early alignment between design, development and production
• Reduced iterations through clearer product decisions
