I partnered with Sitrana, a handmade leather shoe company, to create an original shoe design. Through a semester-long class, I immersed myself in the realm of commercial product development, conducting thorough market research to ultimately arrive at my final product. In 2018, I journeyed to Santiago, Chile for an intensive two-week shoemaking course where I honed my skills in pattern development, leather cutting, and shoe assembly. Alongside this, I also gained valuable insights into the leather markets and culture of Chile.
