In my own words

Steve

<p>www.cinnadesign.com</p><p>After graduating from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena in 2001 with B.S.

in Product Design, I&#39;ve been a product/footwear designer for 20+ years for many different companies and individuals in different sizes as an in-house designer and design consultant. I’ve designed and developed numerous categories of footwear/products during that span. Some of the brands include Vans, Adidas, K-Swiss, AND1, Geisswein, etonic, Kazar, Sole technology, Vilebrequin, TCG, Wolf and Shepherd, Bungee Obleceni etc. I also worked with some of the top athletes and celebrities like Gwen Stefani, Danny Kass, Andreas Wiig, Spencer Dinwiddie, etc in building their brands and signature models. In addition, I&#39;ve worked with many start up clients with great vision and ideas and assisted them in getting their visions to come alive in a physical form.</p><p></p><p>MY MISSION :</p><p>I will dedicate my best effort into every design, every project and every company. I won&#39;t stop until all expectations are met.</p><p></p><p>Expertise: </p><p>- Product Design</p><p>- Footwear Design</p><p>- Innovation</p><p>- Brand Building</p><p>- Techpacks</p><p>- Concept Generation</p><p>- Logo Design</p><p></p>
