Lead end-to-end footwear design and factory-ready technical specification packages for independent footwear labels, streetwear brands, and private-label clients across the UK, Europe, and Asia. • Developed 120+ production-grade tech packs spanning sneakers, vulcanized footwear, molded EVA slides, boots, and casual silhouettes. • Created comprehensive BOMs (Bills of Materials), colorway specs, outsole cross-sections, last dimensions, and material callouts that cut client sampling revision rounds by an average of 40%. • Modeled 3D sole units, midsoles, and hardware components in Rhino 3D to ensure mold-maker compliance before tooling. • Collaborated directly with manufacturing facilities in Portugal, Italy, and China to oversee sample fit, upper stitching tolerances, and grading standards
