Odonata is an entirely resin polyjet 3-d printed heel collection inspired by the growth patterns of dragonfly wings. Dragonflies represent overcoming delusions of the self along with transformation in the same way this collection helped me transform from a student to a Designer with a capital D. Odanata is a collection of three heels Lilibula, Odonata and Lilbu. Using rhino & grasshopper modeling software Odonata was grown using Voronoi structures to mimic nature's favoring of efficiency in wings. Each cell in Voronoi has a seed point finding the nearest neighbor & shortest path to structure.

Bio
I pride myself on my ability to work across multiple disciplines, pushing boundaries of product, biology, innovation. and most recently footwear. I have a strong desire to never stop learning and evolving through multiple areas of design. My way of approaching problems remains thorough, refined, collaborative and unique to my diverse background of learning from life around me.
enjoy.
