DKNY

Footwear Designer

(Oct 2020-Sept 2023)

At DKNY, I was able to nurture my inherently urban, street-style aesthetic and spearheaded efforts to appeal to the younger, sportier consumer.

My digital sketches and color cads became integral to the development process as I was able to render ideas quickly and accurately in an environment that demanded high volume and quick turnaround.

This led to some uniquely successful items such as the Abeni sneaker and Toia boot that were featured in marketing campaigns and continue to be updated today.

Additionally, my secondary skills in hardware and print development allowed me to execute concepts the team had been unable to explore before.

I also excelled in liaising with other departments when collaborating for capsules such as the DKNY TECH Apres Ski collection which required brand cohesion across multiple platforms.
