Feel free to call me Rudy

I'm a Latinx footwear designer from a small town in New Jersey. (My fiancé is from LA hence the hat) 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 trying to read and write more. I’m really enjoying the book The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. I’m writing more on Substack and using that space as place to dive into my projects much deeper. The goal is to demystify footwear design and spotlight pivotal moments along my process.

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.
