Color and materials design for the sporty Wailuku, a sneaker that is both effortless and adventurous. Made with soft, breathable mesh and cloud-like cushioning, they’ll keep your feet cool and comfy. The premium leather details will transport you to the Islands with every step.
OluKai’s first take on a men’s athleisure sneaker that goes from gym to café, trail run to city stroll, the go-anywhere, do-anything Mio Lī pairs island craft with modern flavor, giving you a lightweight shoe that thrives in every environment - active or casual. The colorways are inspired by casual athleisure wear, and can be worn with anything, from jeans to khakis, joggers or shorts.
Test project for Athleta, women’s focused athletic apparel brand. Created four seasonal color stories, and applied them to their lines of Studio, Train, Lifestyle, and Hike categories.
Test project for the adidas + IVY PARK collab with Beyonce. Specific color palettes created for six mini seasonal footwear drops.
While working at adidas, I was tasked with a project to design my own capsule collection for adidas Originals footwear. The requirements included computer-drawn lineart for each shoe style, seasonal color direction, material selections and accessories. The designs were inspired by current fashion trends, as well as a trip I had recently taken to Hawaii.
Color and materials design for a new style for OluKai, called the Miki Li. It features a high stretch breathable textile upper with full-grain leather accents to provide a functional and active sock-like fit. Lined with a soft heathered jersey lining to allow for barefoot wear. Each colorway comes with an extra tonal lace.
Limited edition collection of footwear made from fabric hand-dyed with native Hawaiian plants.
In the spirit of Anywhere Aloha, we combined artisanal craftsmanship from Hawai‘i and Brazil to bring you the limited-edition Liko Collection. Hand-dyed in small batches using a 100% natural dying process with plants found in Hawai‘i—yellow hibiscus, koa, and eucalyptus.
The design need was for a beautiful floral print to highlight the spring bloom of azalea flowers on the golf course for the season opener. I created the print artwork, as well as colored up the footwear, and placed the print on the 5 styles for the men’s and women’s OluKai golf collection.
