Here’s your opportunity to learn from a legendary athletic footwear designer and a Michigan college focused on the design industry. These workshops are aimed at high school and college students, or anyone interested in design, particularly shoe design. 

5:45-7:15pm
In collaboration with Timberland, Greg Garcia from Pensole Lewis College will lead a Color and Materials Design workshop. This design workshop focuses on sustainability, telling your community's story, how to choose materials and colors for footwear, and simple footwear construction using paper worksheets.

Greg Garcia is the Director of Recruitment at Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design. His career in higher education has spanned nearly 13 years, where he has worked in a variety of institutions. He pursued his education from the University of Texas at Arlington for his bachelor's degree, and from Tennessee State University (an HBCU) for his master's. He is excited to bring premier design education to underrepresented and underserved communities!
