There is nothing that is as relaxing as a day sat in my studio on a rainy day with two dogs sleeping at my feet and the wood burner warming our toes. #footwear #footwearstudio #footweardesigner #footwearconsultancy #sketching #designerlife #designlife #designer #igsneakercommunity

Back from my holiday and straight back into design meetings. The only time I get to manage my schedule and I'm fully booked for September, the problem is I haven't made space for one of the brands. Back to working weekends again I guess! #footweardesigner #footwearstudio #september #designerlife #designlife
