Feel free to call me Rudy

I'm a Latinx footwear designer from a small town in New Jersey. In my day-to-day life, you'll find me sketching, conceptualizing, and crafting running shoes at Brooks Running. It's a blast to reimagine and tell stories with brilliant people from around the globe. After hours, you might find me lost in the game of soccer, tuning out the world.

Recently, I've been recovering from an injury, using the extra time to refine my perspective in photography and design. Yep, you guessed it—I'm experimenting with 35mm film, capturing snapshots of intriguing buildings and moments around the neighborhood. Currently, I'm diving into "Design as Art" by Bruno Munari and "The Creative Act" by Rick Rubin. Learning isn't just a hobby for me; I crave exploration and seeing the world through the eyes of giants.

I love to be inspired and love to inspire.
