About Meghan Drake
As a Footwear Design Consultant at DRAKE DESIGN, I leverage my extensive experience in the fashion industry to create innovative and stylish designs for various clients. With over 15 years of experience in footwear design, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the latest trends and technologies in the field.I have worked with both luxury and contemporary brands, including Michael Kors, where I served as the Design Director Contract position for Women\'s MMK Footwear. In this role, I was responsible for designing, specifying, and correcting key looks for concurrent collections, as well as coordinating with other teams to align on seasonal themes. I am passionate about creating designs that not only meet but exceed customer expectations, while also staying true to the brand\'s vision and values.
