Professional Footwear Design+
About
I was raised in...
I was raised in Portland, Oregon. I always thought of it as one of the most creative and unique cities in the world. There is a lot of potential here!
You're here because...
You were probably directed to my web portfolio. I'm an ambitious young professional looking forward to collaborating and standing up for something good.
Most prized possessions...
My most prized possessions are my family. My Mac, Leica and phone are prized too. Those three help me get work done.
I would give it all away for...
I wouldn't give my family away for anything. Everything else is material.
The first thing I do in the morning is...
Two eggs over easy, oatmeal, and apple slices. I think breakfast is overlooked by many.
The last thing I do at night is...
I make sure everything is legit for the next day. Lights out!
My momma always said...
To floss.
I love it when people...
Fall in love with people/places/things. It shows that they’re passionate.
I can’t stand when people...
Fail to introduce people to one another.
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is...
The female design is pretty spectacular but seeing the sunset off the coast of Kauai is nice too!
The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen is...
Sam Cassell.
If you ever see me walking down the street...
Come say what's up. Meeting and interacting with new and interesting people is awesome.
I'd say I'm sorry...
If I stepped on your shoes and be like, "my bad".
Future plans...
Design more shoes to market. Expand my portfolio into apparel and accessories. I’ve always wanted to design a dope bag. Travel to Brazil and make it back to Hong Kong sometime.
Shout outs...
I want to give a shout out to my family and friends who’ve supported me along the way. Lizard Lounge and Nau Clothing. The adidas Orginals PDX crew who brought me into the game and showed me the ropes.
After graduating from the Art Institute of Portland, Stephen began working for adidas US Inc. under the adidas Originals catagory in footwear design. He's also collaborated with a wide array of clients including Walt Disney, Concepts, LEADERS 1354, and Finish Line.
