Project context

A study in movement,
protection and proportion.

This concept began as a design exercise for my job interview. Sketching offered a way to bring movement, protection and a distinct visual character into the same silhouette. It is not a La Sportiva product.

01Sketch

Layered sketches give form room to change.

02Refine

Movement and protection shape the silhouette.

03Communicate

Drawings make the technical intent visible.

Independent work

An interview exercise that opened a line of exploration.
