About Josh Lofgreen

I am a highly driven, confident designer who thrives within high pressured, deadline-oriented environments. With over 10 years of design experience both internationally and domestically my knowledge is broad, having worked in fields such as footwear design, life sciences, health services, e-commerce and advertising. Having fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a footwear designer at one of the worlds’ most recognizable sneaker brands, I quickly realized that I wasn’t doing what I loved the most within design: solving problems in fun and innovative ways. I thrive while thinking big picture, but am equally inspired when working through the details down to the millimeter. I love working on projects that vary in scope and market, challenging myself to think of solutions that draw on experience in other areas.
