AI EXPLORATION: WOMENS FOOTWEAR (PERSONAL)


AI Exploration for Womens Footwear - 2026
For this project, I explored the integration of AI-driven design methodologies to develop a new direction in women’s luxury footwear. The concept centred on using generative tools to challenge conventional form development, material combinations, and silhouette construction, producing designs that feel both futuristic and couture-driven.

By leveraging AI as a collaborative design partner rather than a replacement, I was able to rapidly iterate sculptural heel geometries, unconventional uppers, and intricate surface detailing that would be difficult to conceive through traditional sketch processes alone. The resulting footwear concepts balance innovation with refinement, ensuring that experimental structures remain wearable, elegant, and commercially viable within the luxury market.

NTW APPAREL CONCEPT (PERSONAL)


Notwoways Running Apparel Concept - 2026
For this design concept project with notwoways, I developed an original apparel range to support the launch of a possible upcoming performance training and running shoe. The collection fuses functional performance with notwoways’ forward-thinking aesthetic; minimalistic forms, sharp silhouettes, and thoughtful material contrasts, reinforcing the brand’s identity at the intersection of sport and street.

The concept responds to the current running apparel landscape by prioritising versatile, high-performance garments that bridge the gap between dedicated training gear and everyday wear. Technical fabrics, breathable layering systems, and dynamic cuts were selected to support varied training intensities, while subtle branding and cohesive colour palettes align with notwoways’ signature visual language.

In translating to today’s running culture, the range reflects the evolving needs of a diverse running community: athletes who demand performance, and lifestyle runners who value expressive design. By emphasising adaptability, from tempo runs and strength sessions to casual urban wear, the collection encapsulates how modern runners move, train, and present themselves, making it both a functional toolkit and a cultural statement.

RIMOWA ACCESSORIES CONCEPT (PERSONAL)


Rimowa Accessories Concept Project - 2025
To expand my skillset within the fashion industry, I wanted to explore a side of the accessories world for a brand that is known for it’s high quality and instantly recognisable suitcases, Rimowa. The point of this project was to explore a new range of products that the brand can expand into, helping widen their product range as well as consumer base with new and exciting silhouettes.

These are; a new Top-Handle Bag, Sunglasses and a Handbag. Besides their current venture into sunglasses, the brand has never explored everyday accessories such as a travel bag or handbag, two areas of the accessory world that could help propel and showacse Rimowa in a new light to a new consumer base.

VILEBREQUIN CONCEPT (MAHABIS)


Mahabis x Vilebrequin Concept Project - 2025
During my time at British Slipper brand Mahabis, I was tasked to create a concept project with French swimwear brand, Vilebrequin. Known for their vibrant swim trunks and high profile collaborations like Palm Angels and Off-White (to name a few), this project encapsulates the playfulness that Vilebrequin is best known for. 

For this concept project, I wanted to go back in time to use the origins of the brand as a starting point, utilising the vibrant colours that were seen from Saint-Tropez in the 70s. From this, I was able to build a range of designs that both resonate with our product inspiration as well as the core consumers of the brand.

    FLOWSTATE (UAL)


    Final Year Project (UAL) - 2024



    For my final year project, we were tasked with creating our own brand, and asked to set up the project as if we were launching the brand from the ground up, culminating in the creation of “flow state”. This project allowed me to gather the last four years of experience from my studies at University and my internship to help create timeless but innovative designs, as well as two physical prototypes, a leather ankle boot and a low-top sneaker, two trendy yet everlasting products.

    NTW x DELIVEROO

    Deliveroo Delivery Bag by notwoways  - 2023



    Originally made for the SDMN Charity Match, the NTW Boot Bag was built with creators in mind. With two quick accessibility ways, the bag was made for ease of use while still utilising key design elements that fans can relate to. Although the bag never came to fruition for the Charity Match, the boot bag was utilised for a marketing activation with the food delivery app, “deliveroo”, featuring in online campaigns & photoshoots. 

    The bag features a unique two-way opening, utilising flat, taped zippers to pair with a Cordura upper that can withstand the harshest of conditions while also staying stylish with a water-transferable patch that illuminates an iconic pattern that stays true to the history of notwoways.

    SIDEMEN CHARITY MATCH - FOOTBALL BOOT (NTW)


    Sidemen Charity Match Football Boot
    by notwoways  - 2023
    Designed for the world's best YouTubers, the notwoways football boot utilised my knowledge of technical footwear with the technology of forward-thinking materials such as a "ProWeave" knit upper, used by leading manufacturers within the sporting field. These boots were worn by the likes of KSI, co-owner of Prime Energy Drink and YouTuber with over 12,000,000 subscribers, Randolph, Rapper and Podcaster with over 1,000,000 subscribers and Callux, London-based YouTuber with over 4,000,000 subscribers and co-founder of sneaker brand "notwoways" and production company "After Party Studios.”

    Giggs in Mokka

    MOKKA (NTW)


    Mokka by notwoways  - 2023



    A fan favourite, the notwoways "mokka" model allowed me to delve deeper into innovative approaches for reviving a classic colour scheme. This involved the creation of unique features such as a tongue patch inspired by coffee, a stainless steel stencil reminiscent of coffee powder, and packaging with a design echoing the irresistible swirls of a cup of coffee.

    As this colourway was already so popular through the likes of the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1’s, it was important to find new and unique ways to show this colourway as its own creation and not another copy of a trendy shoe. To do this, I delved into the history of both the brand and the colourway, while seeing how I could adapt this timeless colourway into something new and exciting.

    FORMULA PACKAGING (NTW)


    Packaging for notwoways “Formula”  - 2023



    To commemorate the new release of the notwoways “Formula” silhouette, I was tasked to create a new, premium packaging standard for the shoe. This involved sourcing and designing a new packaging box that could help elevate the brand while relating to the core design language of the shoe itself.

    This packaging features a thick recycled cardboard body, staying true to the sustainability values of the brand. This thick packaging body also allows for a seamless. apple-esq unboxing experience, further enhancing the users experience with the product. We also added gold foil all around the box to commemorate the first release for the new silhouette, adding a touch of luxury to a timeless, well-made box.
