AN ALL-STAR EXPERINCE!
All-Star Design Team was an eight-month apprenticeship. Out of thousands of applications, only 4 were chosen. During my time with Converse, I was the junior graphic designer for men’s and women’s apparel. I worked 1:1 at Converse and Nike HQ, with some amazing designers leading the way for creativity in the Converse and Nike brands. I worked behind the scenes on some exciting projects! My line of work was released to the public worldwide in the Spring of 2024. This is the final work which could be found on Converse’s website

SNEAKER SCHOOL:
YOU’RE LOOKING AT A 1/1 PAIR OF CONVERSE MADE BY ME!
LITTEREALY MADE FROM SCRATCH, I HANDPICKED THE FABRIC, AND LACES, SEWED THE SHAPE, LOGO EMBORDER, AND EVEN THE SHOELACE HOLES ONTO THE FABRIC! AND EVEN ACCIDENTALLY BURNED A HOLE IN THEM DURING THE PROCESS, AND GLUED THE SOLE ON WRONG! TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CONVERSE’S HISTORY AND PROCESS, HAD TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO WALK IN A PAIR OF HANDMADE SHOES.
THIS WAS A WEEK-LONG CREATION AND PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE HOW HARD SHOE MAKERS HAVE TO WORK TO MAKE A SINGLE PAIR OF CONVERSE CHUCKS.
EXPERIENCES:
HERE IS A GLIMPSE AT MY TIME WITH NIKE AND CONVERSE AS AN APPRENTICE! THIS MADE MY TIME EVEN MORE SPECIAL!
