Hi, welcome to my portfolio website. My name is Omar Pasha. I'm a Design Engineer currently active in the footwear field.

​

Although I currently work as a Footwear & Accessory Designer, my experience in design is widely varied.

​

It all leads back to my educational background:

I have studied Industrial Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology where I have learned the ins and out of what design entails in a general sense. This bachelor was followed by the master Design for Interaction, where I gained an understanding in the relationship between the user and the product. Very useful for experience design and UX design related projects.

Above all, however, I developed a unique way of analytical thinking which sets me apart in the world of Footwear Design.

​

My initial ambition was in the Automotive field. During my bachelor I did the Automotive Design minor at the Delft University of Technology, while during my master I followed every Automotive Design related optional courses. I also followed one semester of Automotive & Transport Design at Coventry University as an exchange student.

This all gave me exceptional visualisation skills, both by hand and digitally, both in 2D and 3D.

​

While my love for Automotive Design started to decline due to personal circumstances, I started searching for new design directions. Leading to 2017 where I dabbled in the world of Concept Art as an intern at Guerrilla Games where I worked on the popular Horizon franchise - mainly Horizon Forbidden West. Here my visualisation skills developed even further, mainly in the digital realm (Photoshop).

This was followed by a graduation project, which I did on collaboration with Guerrilla Games. Here I combined my love for designing physical projects with my educational background (Experience Design) and my newly found love for Concept Art. During this project I translated the Horizon Zero Dawn digital experience into a physical object.

​

Although all of this was incredibly fun and educative, one of my main interests was still left untouched: fashion.

My love for fashion started in the sneaker world so it only made sense to pursue a career in footwear design. Not only my analytical way of thinking, but also my experiences in a wide variety of design fields give me a unique view on the world of footwear. 

​

As of 2017 I am a full time Footwear (& Accessory) Designer. Besides this I use my spare time to learn new skills (sewing, 3D printing, resin casting) and keep challenging myself creatively. To continue doing this I started the brand collectabun which allows me to explore more than just shoes.
