During my studies I completed a placement at Hawkeye Innovations, installing and operating their Goal Line Technology system in football stadiums across the world. After graduating in 2017, I completed a Footwear development internship in the adidas tennis team. This then led to a full-time position in the same team, where I spent two years making high performance tennis shoes that were worn by the best players in the world. Notably one of my shoes was worn by the gold medal winner at Tokyo 2020!
I then moved into the football department to develop football boots, which are worn across the world by the top professionals. As a footwear developer, you are the engineers behind the footwear, and are responsible for performance, quality and cost. You also work with the design team to create prototypes of new concepts and innovations to be implemented into footwear for mass production.
