In 2013, I joined Z3ROD to design apparel for a community I deeply respect: triathletes.
More than just performance gear, the goal was to create garments that could follow them through every stage of training, racing, and recovery with style, precision and purpose.
As lead designer for the Spring/Summer 2014 collection, I worked on patterns, fits, materials and colours, adapting each detail to the constraints of long-distance effort. Beyond the season, I contributed to defining the design direction for 2020–202,5, building the visual and technical identity of a brand shaped by passion and endurance.
Designing for triathletes means designing for people who push limits, chase sensations, and never take shortcuts.
I wanted the products to reflect that same mindset.
