I started making shoes back in 2011. The main reason why I started making shoes might sound a little bit weird, I was expecting the end of the world so I decided to create beautiful shoes to run away and also to make something out of me before the world ending. The world didn't end but a creative world opened up to me. And it was a wonderful feeling for me being able to make shoes. I really love that most of the techniques that I use are manual and there is no need to use heavy machinery. I've learned with traditional craftmen and they thuoght me all the processes, from pattern making, cutting the leather, sewing and the assemble of the shoes.
Making shoes is my main income. My production is small, it allows me to focus on the details and work in a balanced way and to also deliver unique shoes.
I've also started teaching a few years ago and now some of the students have their own shoe brands. I'm really happy to teach everything I know, specially to women because this craftmanship it's well knowned as being a man's job and we're showing them that's a missconeption.
I've been shipping my shoes all over the world and that makes me really proud of my job and I'm really happy that my customers love the designs that I make.
My shoes are timeless. I guarantee great quality and comfort. My inspiration comes from classic movies. I love musicals and my mission is that anyone who wears any of my shoes feels like dancing.
I'm also an anthropology student and I'm really interested in the conservation of craftmanship and to recognise different techniques used all over the world. I beleve that's a heritage that we all should preserve.
