Activity.

Oro designs shoes and their related components (forms, heels and various metal accessories). To a great extent he designs elegant women shoes and sometimes bags and dresses.

His main work is to offer his customer a range of sketches and ideas to be used as starting point for a design.

Oro’s sketches are the product of his imagination and technique. Obviously, although the sketches are based on fantasy and technique, it is important to consider the feasibility of the project, the model and the various problems which could arise during the last phase before the product is finished. As to the technical designs the attention concentrates not only on the trends, but also on the technical details which are important too.

These sketches can be a valid support for those companies which, though already relying on their own designers, want to widen their designs or to personalize them according to their taste, or for those companies which want to increase their collection by using an already realized design.

Also having the certificate of Technical Model maker of Footwears, I can effect besides the development of the sketch of creative ideation, in the planning in real staircase of the same with all the particular (buckles,zip,), in the realization of the model in cardboard.

For the one that had need on in demand is possible having also effected the study of the system CAD/CAM with program (SHOEMASTER TORIELLI QS) of autocad 2D for the sketch and the grafica,to realize through the digitally of the models with plotter (tablet) and mouse, the development, the proceeds and the cut with the car Roland of the pieces in cardboard, for the future ended product.
