About
I’m Margherita Richieri, a footwear designer and developer based in Italy, with experience across international brands including Geox, Superga, and Bata. I work on end-to-end product creation for men’s, women’s, and kids’ collections—starting from trend and material research and moving through concept, design, outsole development, and collaboration with suppliers.
I enjoy turning technical requirements into strong design solutions, whether I’m developing outdoor and urban styles for LATAM markets or creating kids’ prints and graphics that fit the brand story. Alongside my design skills, I use 2D/3D tools and pattern-making fundamentals, and I’m currently expanding my expertise through additional training in bag and small leather goods pattern making and design.
