Recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate on a new shoe design project for couragedrifter.com. The design team at Courage Drifter wanted to create a unique shoe collection that drew inspiration from the vibrant and colorful tin hearts found in Mexican folk art. The challenge was to translate this folk art tradition into a modern and trendy shoe design that would appeal to a wide audience.

The first step was to determine the color palette for the shoe collection. It was decided that a bright and cheerful color scheme would capture the essence of the tin heart art. Colors like bright blue, lush greens, and fiery reds and oranges were chosen to reflect the bold and vibrant hues of the traditional art.

Next, the team started to brainstorm ideas for the shoe designs. They decided to name each shoe after a flower or mythological god or goddess in nature. This naming convention would give the shoes a unique and memorable identity, and also reflect the beauty and power of nature.

The final result is a stunning collection of shoes that blended the traditional art of Mexican tin hearts with a modern and trendy design aesthetic. Each shoe is a work of art in its own right, with intricate details and bold color combinations that make them stand out from the crowd.
