As part of Converse’s “Customized By You” team, I design, create, and print unique sneaker customizations while exploring the rich material history of the most iconic sneaker of all-time – the Chuck Taylor.
Specializing in digital design, direct-to-garment printing, embroidery, and more, I’ve worked on Chucks for brands like Meta, Google, Netflix, Foot Locker, and more.
2023 Flagship Skull Graphic
I created a 2023 signature shoe design for Converse’s Flagship Store in the heart of Soho, NYC – ordered and worn by customers globally.
My bold and iconic graphic design features a hand-illustrated skull and scrawled script ‘Converse,’ and is proudly displayed on Chuck Taylors around the world, representing a fusion of urban street style and the timeless appeal of the Converse brand.
Integrating a rebellious, hand-illustrated skull motif with references to New York City's dynamic culture, on the Chuck Taylor silhouette, I’ve crafted a sneaker design that speaks to the heart of urban fashion and self-expression.
“The Outsiders” on Broadway
I had the great privilege to mock up & print 40+ pairs of Chuck 70s for the cast and crew of “The Outsiders” on Broadway.
This particular pair was presented to Director Danya Taymor, who won the 2024 Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for “The Outsiders.”
Converse was commissioned by Netflix to create Chucks for the cast of the “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” now playing in London’s ‘Broadway’ in the West End.
I had the opportunity to print all 60+ pairs of sneakers paying homage to the protagonists’ fictitious high school Hawkins High. The sneakers were worn at their premiere.
Foot Locker 50th Anniversary
I mocked up and printed custom Chuck 70s for the the big wigs at Foot Locker.
Fitted with gold grommets and gold laces, they were worn on the red carpet at Foot Locker’s 50th Anniversary Gala.
