I am interested in finding a manufacturer (custom or production) willing to produce a line of footwear I am designing. Most of the line is based upon platform, wedge and dress inspired styles. Materials would include wood, injection moulded plastics and rubber platform styles. Production is initially would be in the 100's or low 1,000's.I do have several pre-production mock-ups in completed stages ready to be looked at. I am also interested in talking to other's in the same field of interest and am willing to show and share some of my work and ideas. In conclusion, I would also be extremely interested in an opportunity to work in the industry, with a company or design house. While I possess no formal training, I am hard working and determined (especially when it comes to this topic) Give me the chance to wow you.
