Élan Hawkins
I studied five years of Industrial design, earning a degree in Bachelors in Fine Arts. Throughout those years I developed my skills to draw, ideate, innovate, conceptualize, visualize, 3D model, engineer, create compositional layouts, confidently present ideas, and so much more. I graduated number one in my class.
Currently, I work in the industry as a footwear designer, but I am much more than that. One would say that design is my craft, however, I find myself doing more than just that in my nature. I am a creative looking to expand my horizons, capable of solving out-of-the-box problems, with a desire to positively impact not only the people around me but also for generations to come. Please follow me on this journey into bringing more color into design.
