Hola! My name is Juan Jacobo.
With over 10 years of combined experience in user research, industrial design for human/hardware interfaces, and innovation, I’m thrilled to continue my journey into the footwear sector. In the short term, I’m eager to learn everything I can about the "why" and "how" of footwear design, color, materials, development, and trend forecasting. Looking ahead, my goal is to collaborate with forward-thinking teams within companies that are strategically positioned to tackle the current challenges facing the footwear industry, including:
Sustainability and environmental impact
Customization and fit
Accessibility and inclusivity
Global supply chain and ethical production
Performance and durability
Fashion vs. function vs. user needs
