SOLE SICARIO
Craft-making is a rewarding way to reconnect to your creative soul, especially in a world drowning in tech overload. Sicario Studios comes from a nickname I adopted at custom shoe school - Sole Sicario. It was a compliment from fellow makers to say how I “murdered those soles.” I kept it as I liked its juxtaposition in how sicarios are mainly known for being destructive. With Sicario Studios, I get to reshape that narrative to symbolize creation via the beautiful products made at the studio.
Before becoming a maker, I was a creative director and marketing executive supporting giants like Citi, Diageo, and PepsiCo. Now, with Sicario Studios, I channel my design prowess into handcrafted luxury footwear, bags, and accessories. I've got Brooklyn roots during the golden era, so I was a born and raised sneakerhead, with education spanning LaGuardia High / Fame, to The Fashion Institute to MIT. I’m also the proud father to two of my greatest creations, my sons.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope the work inspires you.
