Completed through the New Balance x PLC Detroit Masterclass, an immersive program introducing students to performance footwear design, digital modeling, and brand driven storytelling.
In this group project, my team was assigned to create a race day collection, and I was responsible for designing the post marathon recovery shoe. My approach centered on sculpting unique forms and integrating material technologies intended to support healing through improved blood circulation and targeted compression. Throughout the process I also expanded my digital skill set, creating a full 3D model in Gravity Sketch and rendering the design in both KeyShot and Vizcom. This recovery shoe reflects a balance of innovation, comfort, and purposeful design for athletes pushing toward their next finish line.
