Footwear design came about from working closely with some really talented product developers, providing an environment that allowed me to propose designs and product develop a variety of women’s footwear styles. I designed and developed the Maha Trench, an adventurous and progressive style inspired from Patagonia rain gear, as well as designing their highest selling women’s style, the Maha Breathe and Maha ballet flat. I designed the upper, outsole and heel designs for the Bandha Strap and T-Strap sandal. These popular styles were featured in Yoga Journal, Whole Living, and Breathe magazines.
