My journey at Arsutoria School in Milan was an incredible opportunity to dive into the craft of footwear pattern making—a discipline I see as the bridge between a bold idea and its realization. Through my scholarship, I gained hands-on experience in translating design concepts into tangible prototypes, learning how precise pattern work transforms vision into form.

In this project, I designed a sneaker from the ground up, creating the initial patterns, building the first prototype, and refining it into a final, polished design. Each stage of the process—from sketches to completed sneaker—reflects the steps needed to turn a creative concept into a wearable piece.
