    I have the ability and experience to participate in the all aspects of the design and development process.I understand target markets, branding and brand identity, price points, trends and colour and I can work and adjust quickly to changing environments and situations with tight deadlines. I have strong sketching and presentation skills to show new concepts and ideas. In depth knowledge in footwear construction, materials, manufacturing and needs of production and practical experience of working with Far East and European factories and suppliers. I'm as happy to work independently and as a part of team and I have good communication and organising skills which help me to create efficient work flows in the design and development process. I'm always seeking new individual ideas and influences. I take inspiration from vintage and high fashion, independent street style and boutiques but also from art and industrial design and surrounding beauty of the world.

    I have designed men's, ladies and children's ranges from commercial products to more mid-higher end leather shoes varying from casual, sport and technical sport. I have also taken the designs through the development process by creating detailed specifications for uppers, outsoles and all trims used, checked pullovers and BP's and improved the styles on the sample stage. The pace of the work has been very fast so I have learnt to be efficient and focused with my work and always hit the deadlines.

    I’m eager to improve, learn and study more about design. With analytical approach to my own work and working methods I try to improve all aspects of my skill set all the time.

    Proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS4 and below. With Adobe Illustrator in my all jobs I have been the one who colleagues ask help and I have even trained some of my colleagues to use the program from very basics to very competent level improving the quality and efficiency regarding the cad work. I'm familiar with Microsoft Office and most common e-mail and internet programs and I have basic skills in Macromedia Freehand, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe Indesign, CAD Shoemaster 2D/3D, iPhoto, iWeb. I'm confident to work on computers on both platforms Mac and PC and I'm very quick to learn new programs.

    Area Covered: Based in Manchester UK but travelling or working remotely is not a problem
