After nearly 6 years of working as a footwear designer for JOMA SPORT, it’s time to say goodbye. I want to give a big thank you to everyone who has been a part of my experience there. I learned to design spectacular pieces of footwear with a team of talented professionals.

I still remember how surreal it felt when F. López called me 5 years and a bit ago, with the offer to join s team at JOMA SPORT, and help build a new concept of footwear. 

There's so many people to thank beyond them, but I'll spare you and just point out a couple. J. Fronce for having more confidence in my powers than I had, F. Lopez for guiding me through my most difficult and challenging years at JOMA SPORT yet and  other amazing current and past team members.

I´ve had the chance to work with throughout these years at JOMA SPORT, and some pretty fantastic stakeholders - you know who you are so I´ll spare you the tags. Thank you all for being part of this epic journey. Here are the latest sketches for Outdoor´s Collection highlights that I had the good fortune to work on as a designer in the last year.  

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Senior #FootwearDesigner at @PepeJeans A very exciting new opportunity, in which I am very eager to grow and contribute! 

Currently I´m working under the direction of the Men's Footwear Design Manager at Pepe Jeans London  to create innovative designs. Design, planning and management of the collections. Analysis of global trends product strategy depending on range plan for collection.

I understand street culture and the needs of those communities within this space! I´m a designer who is passionate about elevating the consumer experience through outstanding product craft, and I push the limits of Design! When it's possible or if I may.

Original Poem: Little Girl

Little Girl

Little girl, go deep into your mind it is amazing what you might find

Dreams left behind words of encouragement you can not find

Dreams going unfulfilled energy draining beyond your give

Little girl, there will be struggles some created by you

But let not your seeds of trouble be from problems you grew

Your struggles do not have to be always

The strong backs of your ancestors created…

from the New Yorker magazine.

  “This is precisely the time that artists go to work.There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”
