Synopsis

This project was initially created for a design challenge. The brief was to design a 3D-printed shoe for the startup footwear company Zellerfeld. There were no guidelines for this challenge aside from being a 3D monoprint. While I did not win, what was initially a 10-day design sprint became an opportunity for me to truly blend art with design unconstrained, as well as strengthen my visual abilities. 

I utilized 3 new software to aid my process. Within just a few days I was able to effectively learn Zbrush, Cinema4D, and Redshift. This project isn’t traditional industrial design in the sense of problem-solving and consumer-centrism. This is one of the few moments where I truly designed for myself, and invested unbridled artistry into a body of work.
