Footwear Designer for Barefoot Shoes, Sandals, Outsoles & Tech Packs
I specialize in barefoot footwear design — wide toe box, zero drop, flexible sole, natural foot movement, and manufacturable product development. I design wide toe box shoes, barefoot sandals, minimalist sneakers, kids’ footwear, outsole concepts, and factory-ready footwear design directions. For the past 2.5 years, I worked with Hike Footwear, supporting product design and development for barefoot footwear collections. My work included concept design, outsole development, upper construction, material direction, sample review, tech-pack detailing, and factory communication. My design philosophy is simple: wide toe box, zero drop, flexible sole, natural movement, and manufacturable construction. I can help with: -Barefoot shoe concept design -Sandal and strap system design -Outsole tread pattern ideation -Upper design and material direction -Tech pack and specification drawings -Sample feedback and product refinement -Footwear render direction and presentation visuals I work best with brands that care about foot health, comfort, natural movement, and realistic product development.
