017 - Matthew Walters

We had the pleasure of chatting with footwear designer Matt Walters of CODDI, a footwear company that focuses on telling stories through the comfort and longevity of the shoe. Matt was kind enough to tell us his experience as a student, a young professional, the do’s and don'ts, and the process and excitement of creating a brand on his own. We’re super proud, Matt radiates positive vibes, we hope nothing but the best for him! To follow Matt’s design work and journey, be sure to follow him on Instagram @_m.walt and @coddi.footwear. Thank you for tuning into CONTEXT, (formerly known as ADS Live prior to Advanced Design’s rebrand), send us a DM or email at hello@advdes.org to provide us with your thoughts and comments on our dialogue with designers!
