I got my first start from a good friend who happened to play for the NFL. He challenged me as an artist to step outside my comfort zone by creating a custom shoe for him. I haven’t stopped since and it’s been 8 years of doing what I love. I’ve traveled to different places and have been featured at various events for my custom shoes designs that I have done for many athletes and celebrities. That one opportunity blessed me and gave me the opportunity to serve a bigger cause, which is helping children express themselves through art. My goal is to provide children with a safe place to be able share their feelings and concerns. That is what "Changing Sole One Shoe At A Time" stands for: changing the way children express themselves.
