In the book, Maude designs a shoe that is ultimately selected, marking a pivotal achievement in her pursuit of creative confidence in the design agency she works at.

The shoe titled “Stellar Steps" symbolizes the journey of growth, persistence, and creative confidence. Inspired by Maude’s pivotal achievement in the book, this shoe embodies the transformation from uncertainty to mastery in design.

Process

Its creation—from initial sketches to overcoming the technical challenges of 3D modeling and printing—serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, self-learning, and pushing past obstacles. "Stellar Steps" is a representation of how determination and innovation can turn a creative vision into a reality, empowering the designer and wearer alike.

The finished shoe is a physical piece of the story and world I have built, a piece of both the character's creative confidence and my own that was practiced throughout this project.

“Stellar Steps" stands as a reminder that growth, creativity, and confidence are earned through dedication and the willingness to step out of one's comfort zone. So take that first step.
