SOLEVANA

for Clarks

Creator of the Clarks Solevana franchise:

I was fortunate enough to work with Clarks’ world-class last maker and development team to create an incredibly simple, yet incredibly comfortable/functional wearable experience. Designed directly in 3D using Gravity Sketch in VR. Hyper-simple. Cross-linked injection EVA + best fitting last + deconstructed upper = Footwear “bliss”

Solevana in motion.

Designed in VR. Refined in Blender.
Built around fit—so comfort starts from the first step.

From last to final form, every decision in this shoe began with one question:
What does it feel like to wear it all day?

Here you’ll find explorations that reimagine footwear at its edges—concepts that question, test, and set the stage for tomorrow.

I create, innovate, inspire, test, and live all things footwear. As an industrial designer, the ability to refine, evolve, and improve the industry from materials/sourcing through manufacturing and consumer experience is what drives me.

I ideate with any and all tools - from VR (Gravity Sketch) and Blender to the casual paper napkin in a cafe.

I have built multiple million+pair footwear programs as well as “one of a kind” shoes.

My passions are holistic brand innovation and creating “wearable experiences”, life-long learning: 3D fluency/computational design, the humanistic approach to automation, and industry evolution.

When I’m not designing, I enjoy exploring the ocean (or any available body of water). I have my advanced open water, dry suit, enriched air certifications- all handy in the cold North Atlantic. My dream is to ice dive as well as explore the polar waters. The macro as well as micro environments offer endless inspiration.

I enjoy direct ideation in 3D (VR)- so thankful for having access to some of the best last makers in the world- I am able to send my 3D files directly to mold makers and suppliers for prototyping.

Everything shown on this website has been designed, modeled, and rendered by me.

Though I also enjoy using ai tools, no ai derived content is included on this site.
