Portraits of a Footwear Developer - Vietnam
Portrait of a Footwear Developer - Indo Style
April 22, 2011
This sculpture is the most photographed attraction in Chicago. It was designed by Anish Kapoor and took over 2 years to construct. Kapoor was inspired by liquid mercury and the sculptures surface reflects and distorts the city skyline. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. Before it was completed, the sculpture was referred to as "The Bean" (something that designer thought was completely stupid)... it was later officially named Cloud Gate. Below are a couple self portraits I took of myself (which seems to be the popular thing to do here).

As you can see from the pile of shoes behind her and the fact that she's on the phone... Tammy is a busy person (and I caught her at a busy moment). Nonetheless, she still offered a nice smile for me when I took her picture!

I got a chance to work with Arthur for a couple of seasons. He was a very nice person to work with. It always surprised me how quickly he was able to adapt to new situations and new changes.

Rita has been amazing. I don't know how she does it... but Rita seems to cover the jobs of 3 people (perhaps she has two twin sisters that she doesn't tell us about??). Most people will get stressed out by that... but as you can see by Rita's smile, she always has a positive personality.

I used to work with Lillian a lot back in the day... and always enjoyed the projects we worked on together. She has done everything from from kid's shoes to women's fashion. Lillian was one of the developers responsible for the NB for Nine West collection. Great work!

If anyone is familiar with the movie Pulp Fiction, they will remember the scene where the gangsters get into trouble and have to call the Wolf (to help fix things). This Wolf is similar... you go to him with a problem and he helps fix it. He's a great guy to work with and also fun to have some drinks with.

Sara is responsible for all of our costing that comes out of one factory. She's great to work with (is very good with numbers)... and as you can see, has a great smile.

Davice is another great engineer at NB. He works on an incredibly diverse products raging from tech running to men's casual to women's fashion... Davice can do it all!
(he's also quite a stylish dresser)

Kevin is definitely one of the hardest working people I've ever met. He always goes above and beyond the call of duty. We are very lucky to have him on our team.

Andy is a great engineer working at one of our factories in Asia. He definitely has a very strong technical knowledge and a desire to make awesome shoes. I got a chance to hang out with him when he visited our Boston office... and really enjoyed his personality.

Betty is an awesome person to work with... or just hang out with. She's super nice and welcoming to anyone that is visiting Asia. Betty also does a great job with the costing department.

Jane is another great developer that I work with. We've worked on some extremely difficult & diverse projects together over the years (ranging from cross training to lifestyle)... but no matter what the project, they always end up looking great in the end. Thanks Jane!

Portrait of a shoe cobbler - Tony
Tony is a true/old school "shoe cobbler". If you gave him a hide of leather, some textile, and a bit of rubber... he can "cobble" together a shoe (Tony is kind of like the Macgyver of the footwear world). What makes Tony even better to work with is his calm and easy going personality. No matter how big the problem, he always remains cool.

Maggie is an extremely colorful and bright person... I thought this picture captured her personality quite well! She's a great person to work with.

Jef is still relatively new to the NB development world, but he's done a great job filling this role. Jef is a fast learner and has a lot of potential for future growth!

I haven't worked directly with Adan on any specific projects. However, regardless of the situation, he's always willing to help out. Adan is a great guy... and also one of the fastest talking people I've met (in English or Chinese).

Jacqueline is a material expert. Whenever I need a new material developed, I go to her and she makes it happen. Jacqueline is also one of the most stylish people in the NB office... she definitely has a great fashion sense and a great smile.
