Yerrr!

Hi! I'm Tony, an architect turned footwear designer with a passion for story-driven design. After a decade of designing iconic buildings in NYC and throughout the East Coast, I launched Pioneer Design Lab to channel my architectural expertise into my love for sneakers. My goal? To harness the same creativity and precision from architecture to craft beautiful, head-turning sneakers that resonate on a personal level.
