INNOVATION    Pushing the aesthetic and modeling capabilities of AI to generate new looks, and VR 3D sketching to develop ideas accurately on an athletic last.

OPPORTUNITY    Quickly develop and share asymmetric footwear concepts, and midsoles with complex geometry, which are tricky to communicate with 2D traditional footwear development. There is also the potential to reduce development time and rounds of samples because I can draw directly on the last and pattern masters don’t need to interpret 2D views.

INSPIRATION    The latest in generative AI and VR design tools for rapid and impactful footwear ideation
