Throw Back Thursday. I was talking the other day and @projectrunway came up. This was a pivotal moment for me. I come back from Italy and school with no prospects for jobs until I saw a contest to meet @timgunn and have him critique my work. I sent my shoe portfolio in and ended up winning.

Cut through the noise. Topaz is precision in motion-folded like a paper plane, light enough to fly, sharp enough to turn heads. Born to defy gravity. #notjustashoe #flywithme #defygravity #edgeoffashion #sculpturalfootwear

One of the new lower heels. I LOVE this one. In a small amount of space there is still room for a lot of creativity. #heels #creativity #dreamchaser #chrome

I have 100’s if not thousands of sketches over the years. I use to toss them when I thought it was a wierd hobby I had that I couldn’t stop. I was yelled at by a friend who convinced me it was very important to save them.
