About

I’m an artist and designer focused on creating ideas that sit at the intersection of culture, sport, and storytelling. I began customizing and building sneakers in 2018, working with high-end clients and developing a deep understanding of sneaker construction, pattern making, and design. In 2022, I collaborated with the Cornett Group on a project that started as a wild idea: What if horses wore sneakers? That idea became Horse Kicks — sneaker-inspired footwear designed specifically for horses. The project quickly went viral, generating over 3 billion impressions worldwide and helping the campaign earn multiple advertising awards. Since then, my focus has been on bringing sneaker culture into the equine world and building Horse Kicks into a brand that blends fashion, sport, and innovation. Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with major brands and cultural figures including Nike, Jordan Brand, Bojangles, professional athletes, and entertainers. What began as an experimental concept has grown into a platform for creative exploration, storytelling, and product innovation. Horse Kicks is just the beginning.
